That naming sounds dystopian. Do people working on these things not see it?

- andsoitis 1y ago> And how is that any different to the "Volkswagen"? Volkswagen was founded in 1937 by a Nazi-controlled labor union. Even if it weren't, "volks" is more ambiguous than "national", since it means "people's", which you can be interpreted as "a car for the people", not a specific "nation".
