No. It's important to separate technology creators and users. Physicists should bear no blame for the use of atomic weapons. Cisco, IBM and others are, likewise, just technology providers. Google, OTOH, actively uses its technology.
- Buge 11y agoIf Cisco has people onsite helping to install their products and providing support for China's operations, and takes feature suggestions and implements stuff specifically to help China that's more than simply being a technology provider. Yes Google is intentionally using its technology to serve ads, but it's not intentionally using its technology to give information to the NSA, and is in fact trying to get everything encrypted to specifically stop the NSA.
