Yep, such as Cisco which helps China, to quote Cisco's pitch slides, "combat ‘Falun Gong’ evil religion and other hostiles" (https://www.wired.com/2008/05/leaked-cisco-do https://www.wired.com/2008/05/leaked-cisco-do ; https://www.wired.com/images_blogs/threatlevel/files/cisco_presentation.pdf https://www.wired.com/images_blogs/threatlevel/files/cisco_p...

- edblarney 10y agoChina definitely has the capabilities they need. They might get help from Cisco, but they don't need to. I worked in an F50 that sold services, and we were constantly having to 'help' countries like Tunisia, Kazakstan etc. do some things we didn't want them to do, we tried to steer clear of being involved but we could not in some circumstances. But it wasn't that bad, it was mostly porn filtering and such.
- bogomipz 10y agoWhat's an F50?
- SCHiM 10y agoWhich company was this?
- edblarney 10y ago"Which company was this?" There's no way I would name the company, it would be a breach of confidentiality. If there was something tantamount to whistle-blowing, possibly, but there was nothing illegal going on. "What is F50?" 'Fortune 50'
