| schestowitz[TR2] | He worked for the computer manufacturer International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) from 1982 to 1994, with his final position being director of North American fulfillment.

| schestowitz[TR2] | Apple was on the verge of collapse when founder Steve Jobs rejoined the company in 1997. Cook joined Apple shortly thereafter in 1998 as senior vice president of worldwide operations. | Sep 01 01:58 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The person IBM needs to reel in is Lisa Su AMD CEO. She is ex IBM and was Gerstner's TA technical assistant for a year. Absolutely brilliant. Education: Graduated from the Bronx High School of Science, then earned her bachelor's, master's, and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). | Sep 01 01:58 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 3 degrees from EE-Physics MIT!!! If you have never been MIT phew...Like Star Trek + Disneyworld + Tesla + NVIDIA etc etc. People there are scary smart. | Sep 01 01:58 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | How that US-sanctioned organization in Italy uses tools like free software is not a defense to specific US allegations that the group became a key node to terrorist organizations for planning and claiming responsibility for violent acts. | Sep 01 22:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | I don't think Libreplanet mailing list is for that type of radical politics. | Sep 01 22:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | What happened to them could have happened to any self-hosting group (if they just happened to host the blog of someone critical of the USA administration). | Sep 01 22:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | You wrote that "what happened to them could have happened to any self-hosting group (if they just happened to host the blog of someone critical of the USA administration)." | Sep 01 22:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | That is a dishonest framing, and I suspect you know it. | Sep 01 22:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The U.S. State Department did not sanction A/I for hosting a blog. They sanctioned A/I because, according to their public designation, the collective: | Sep 01 22:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 1. Manually vets users for ideological affinity – meaning they do not operate as a neutral platform, but as a curated service for a specific political fringe. | Sep 01 22:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 2. Provides infrastructure "specifically designed" for militant networks to evade law enforcement. | Sep 01 22:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 3. Is directly linked to groups that have claimed responsibility for bombings, railway sabotage, and attacks on power grids. | Sep 01 22:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | You can disagree with the U.S. government. You can question the evidence. You can argue the sanctions are overreach. But you cannot honestly reduce this to "hosting a blog critical of the USA." That is not what happened, and pretending otherwise is either ignorance or deliberate misdirection. | Sep 01 22:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | This mailing list is for free software. It is not a platform to defend organizations accused of facilitating violence by selectively omitting the most serious allegations against them. If you want to advocate for A/I, take it elsewhere. If you want to discuss whether U.S. sanctions threaten free software projects generally, that is a conversation worth having – but it requires intellectual honesty about what is actually being all | Sep 01 22:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | eged. | Sep 01 22:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | A/I’s business model of providing tools to radical groups that claim violent attacks would be in direct violation of the AUPs of virtually all mainstream, commercial hosting providers. | Sep 01 22:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Yes, surely people can use free software for any purpose, that doesn't mean we should support those who give terrorists platform to be safe from criminal investigation. " | Sep 01 22:16 |
