That's not how it works. Even if Slack is mistaken in their belief that export regulations apply, their action is still taken in that belief, which is not legally-discriminatory.
- elmo2you 8y agoThe moment Slack decided to apply a law to justify their action, it became responsible for understanding and correctly apply said law. Their beliefs are irrelevant. If they misunderstood, they are still in violation of the law against discrimination. It is their action that counts here, not their beliefs. Would you say that robbing a bank is okay, if the robber believes that it's okay?
