Big tech today is like if IBM had live footage of what has happening in the concentration camps, and they kept sending machines anyway.

I'm so fucking tired of these companies and their stenographers in the media.

Journalists who, even when writing criticisms, can't disabuse themselves of the notion that technology means progress and innovation is liberation. Not even when the counter-examples are staring them in the face.

Genocide, ecocide and a fascist devaluation of culture run rampant.

@davey_cakes Nothing new about this. Caterpillar knew decades ago that Israel was using their machines to topple Palestinian homes -- and sometimes kill Palestinians themselves -- but would not refuse to sell to the regime, despite years of lobbying, because it was insufficient. People whose world is money just don't care who their choices hurt, as long as it doesn't come back home to them. The divestiture movement against Apartheid worked because it directly hurt investors' bottom line.
