Imagine the amount of infected packages we use every day. Probably 20 different governments see everything we do.

- cratermoon 2y agowhy worry about governments so much? You know how many different companies see everything you do? Do you trust all of them? https://www.wired.com/story/gravy-location-data-app-leak-rtb/ https://www.wired.com/story/gravy-location-data-app-leak-rtb...
- CamperBob2 2y agoCompanies didn't intentionally murder 100 million of their own customers in the 20th century alone.
- cratermoon 2y agoThey certainly aided and abetted. See IBM.
- CamperBob2 2y agoBut they didn't murder their own customers. Their customer, a government, did the murdering. As long as government claims the right to a monopoly on violence, it is reasonable to hold them to far, far higher standards than anyone else, including corporations. There is only so much damage one company or one cartel can do, but with government, the downside is unbounded. As I suspect we're about to see for ourselves.
- cratermoon 2y agoNah, let go of that monopoly on violence claptrap. Governments can't do things without corporations to build stuff for them. > Their customer, a government, did the murdering. Using stuff the corporation made and profited from. Max Weber died in 1920, get some new economics.
- CamperBob2 2y agoThe monopoly-on-violence claptrap gets shoved in my face whenever I argue against gun control on the Internet, so now you get a dose of it. Sorry. :) Meanwhile, remind me what corporations built Stalin's infrastructure?
