Washington imposes 'terrorist-grade sanctions' on Francesca Albanese, ICC judges

[meneerdebruin@mastodon.nl]

@Khrys We really need to stop supporting US (tech) companies. It may take time, but small achievable steps away now can already start hurting their bottom line.

@Khrys
First, fuck anyone who thinks it is reasonable to use sanctions to preserve genocide.

Second, if the USA wanted to use sanctions as a threat, we should not have pissed off the entire world with Trump's trade wars, executing random fishermen in international waters, executing protesters, etc.

Sanctions only work when you can convince other countries to join you.

@Khrys EU needs to step up and protect her

@Khrys I don't know that site but they didn't report on my work ten years ago

For freaks sake… fuck off and then fuck off a bit more… we know who the real terrorists are…

@Khrys
"The companies identified by Albanese include Alphabet, Amazon, Caterpillar, Chevron, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, and Palantir."

We really should work harder at boycotting these tech companies. So Alphabet, that is "don't-be-evil" Google.

@Khrys Det må glede Jens Stoltenberg at IT-gigantene nå er trygge og at USA har gjort Francesca Albanere til (et levende) "ikke-eksisterende menneske" uten mulighet for bankkort, reise, hotellovernatting m.m. Nå kan han reversere de politiske endringene han innførte for Norges Bank og pensjonsfondets etiske retningslinjer og Etikkrådet uten å frykte at han må trekke penger ut folkemordsprofitørene i IT-bransjen.

@Khrys going after software companies is the issue, every country must now agree to not use software as a weapon of control, or they're admitting they reserve the choice of using it as a weapon of control. Software companies are like, "We make software, we don't dictate how it's used." Just aggregating potentialities for people to play with. Everyone's being heat mapped into a 3 dimensional digital array, discoverable by a multitude of any metric imaginable. It's no wonder we're in an arms race for AI dominance. Who's surveillance curtain does one want to live behind? Yikes.

@tofugolem @Khrys Maybe the reasoning goes as follows: Big Bombs Be Convincing.

It doesn't sound smart. I'm probably too dumb to realize how clever it is.

@pietkuip @Khrys Youd think Meta should have a place among those...
