sounds logical, except what tools is Cisco specifically providing for "oppressive regimes’ censorship and e-terror campaigns"?

- alanh 16y agoWhat do you think Cisco imagines networking equipment sold to oppressive governments is going to be used for? Edit: Jeeze borism, I mention Cisco because they are the ones with ads playing between Glee episodes. No, I’m sure they aren’t the “only ones.”
- borism 16y agobut then any company making networking equipment sold to oppressive regimes should be equally responsible, why did you single out Cisco? obviously Cisco is the market leader and probably more of their equipment ends up everywhere (I'm not so sure though, for example Alcatel-Lucent equipment might be more welcome by anti-US regimes, than same equipment from US companies. A-L is also known UN sanctions violator). or do you have any evidence that Cisco is specifically marketing for oppressive regimes?
- neworbit 16y agoWell, the RIAA uses Cisco gear...
- borism 16y agojeeze alanh, I'm sure you're on to something. I just don't think supporting oppressive regimes is it.
