Well, in its history IBM was aiding the Nazis with concentration camp infrastructure - making the whole bureaucracy much easier. I'd rather have technology restricted for certain countries at risk so anything like this won't happen in the future.
- dijit 6y agoYou've positioned it now so that anything I say will sound sympathetic to Nazis. But what if the USA was WW2 Germany, and they had dominion over your entire technological infrastructure. I'm not necessarily saying that's the case, but I'm not so quick to throw in pure unadulterated trust to any foreign country, and ultimately, USA could decide the rest of us are bad for nearly any reason, just look at how much pressure the US exerts on Sweden, which is hardly known for human rights abuses.
- varispeed 6y agoI am sorry, I didn't want it to sound like that. I just wanted to express my distrust for IBM as they have not exactly addressed their past and such initiative is potentially sinister. I understand that the US has its fair share of atrocities, however for me they are the "lesser evil" if that makes sense.
