- antifa 4y agoIBM had a holocaust-involved project back in the day: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_and_the_Holocaust https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_and_the_Holocaust That probably came across as a fun and easy application of Godwin's Law but I think that would be the wrong conclusion. The exact problem we should be worried about is political and has been here long before computers. It would have been strange if we banned computers after the holocaust instead of having the Nuremberg Trials. The political problem that actually exists is almost not even talked about which is unfortunate.
