Alibaba says Uygur-tracking facial recognition violates company values

The title says the company removed software, while the article says that they "removed references to Uygurs"

That looks like they just edited the documentation, the software is still there with all its capabilities.

It doesn’t matter what Alibabas values are. Their values are filtered by the CCPs needs.

So... the CCP owns this technology. They're definitely going to be using this, and we all know they'll use it to oppress this ethnic group. How does the international community not see the parallels to the third reich here?

TDS.

CCPDS.

I don't think the 3rd reich and the ruins of Weimar Republic were was as economically appetizing.

China isn't invading other countries in search of more uygurs to kill, so everyone is content to ignore it

To be fair, neither was that the motivation of Germany.

It's amazing how we were worried whether big modern companies would show any real resistance towards states engaging in cultural suppression, racism, censorship and genocide.

In fact, they jump at the opportunity to help with it!

Remember developers, you have agency.

Companies = profit.

VC/Shareholder driven companies even more so.
