metroid composite 09/08/18 9:40:42 AM #12:	Oh well, ok, let's goooo. I'm sure people have heard by now that IBM has been making tools to let police search by skin colour: https://theintercept.com/2018/09/06/nypd-surveillance-camera-skin-tone-search/ IBM does not have a particularly good track record with this, having invented a punch card system to be used by the Nazis during world war 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_and_the_Holocaust Quoting a twitter rant: "They oversaw, developed, and maintained programs and machines designed to identify certain types of people, move them through train systems, and manage the populations of camps they sent them to. They even came up with a clever way to match their records systems to the individuals whose fate was decided by these machines, by tattooing their system codes directly on the skin of their victims. If youre wondering how much the company knew what was going on, know that the contracts were set up specifically for the SS Race Office with machines operated directly by these tech employees in each concentration camp. The punch card system had identifiers for specific concentration camps (001 for Auschwitz, 003 for Dachau), what ethnic group someone was (Jews were 8, homosexuals 3) and how they died (4 was execution, 6 was gas). That founder himself traveled to Germany a lot between 1933 and 1939 and was awarded a medal by Hitler for his extraordinary service to the Third Reich by a foreigner. After the war, having made profits from all these German contracts for managing their concentration camps and supply lines, this company became a household name across the world. I guess they were too big to hold accountable. But now this tech company is finally dying out, and instead of admitting or apologizing for any of their history, they named their last ditch swan song buzzword-bullshit product after their Nazi-collaborating genocidal founder. Thats not ancient history. Thats today. Theyre actively celebrating their Nazi history and continuing their tradition of identifying everyday citizens by race for the authorities. Dont work for them. Dont do business with them. Dont let them sponsor your events." --- Cats land on their feet. Toast lands peanut butter side down.
