Absolutely incorrect and I’ll give you a very prescient example. A piece of facial recognition software that determines whether brown people are us citizens is fascist. Everything in this world is political, especially softeare
No, that’s not fascist. Facial recognition software can be used for a variety of reasons, like unlocking a phone or laptop, gaining access to secure areas, or home automation stuff.
It’s only fascist if used by a government to oppress minorities. The software itself cannot be fascist, but it can be used by fascists.
Let me be 100% clear. The one and only purpose of this software is to aid ice in deporting Americans. If you don’t see that as fascist you’re either mentally damaged or part of the fascists arm
The fault lies with the makers and users of the softeware. Software doesn’t have political opinions, it’s software.
It’s like saying Panzer tanks were fascist because they were built by the Nazis. Tanks cannot be fascist, they’re tanks. So despite being made and used by fascists, they’re not fascist, they’re tanks.
That’s the same exact thing here. Facial recognition software can be used by fascists, but that doesn’t make the software itself fascist.
You’re plainly ignoring the statement. The facial recognition software determines the citizenship of people. It’s not some general facial recognition. You’re arguing in bad faith
Again, it’s not the software itself that’s fascist, it’s what it’s being used for that’s fascist. Facial recognition for determining citizenship could absolutely be used for non-fascist purposes, like simplifying border crossings to not require documentation (i.e. completely opt-in). Likewise, surveillance systems can also not be used until there’s an actual warrant (i.e. no passive recording), which can help in catching dangerous criminals.
The technology itself isn’t fascist, it’s how it’s applied that’s fascist. The mass data collection is fascist, the tools used to collect that data isn’t fascist in the same way that guns and tanks aren’t fascist, but they can certainly be used by fascists.
If your software org is facist then you have facist software…
Software can’t be fascist, it’s just software. The makers or users can be fascist though. If that statement was true, Lemmy would be tankie.

Completely wrong but you refuse to engage so fuck off

Hahah you mean like Lemmy itself?
