        Not as bad, especially considering Iran is warning they’ll be targeting those facilities, giving cilivians ample time to bail out.

      Their argument is that the big tech companies are allowing their AI to be used to help target Iran (which they obviously are). This would arguably make the data centers powering the AI a legitimate military target

        You can argue that because it’s right.

        The Allies bombed the shit out of Krups.

        This is why you don’t start wars of choice, because it wastes your blood and treasure.

        In this case there’s very few people inside and a whole lot of imperialist money tied up making a technology that people hate.

        Iran understands the average American better than the Trump admin. Unfortunately the US government only listens to rural voters and people from Pennsylvania.

      No it isn’t. These American tech companies made the mistake of taking contracts from the US military, and are legitimate targets.

        Really? Civilian contractors are legitimate targets? How interesting.
        I’m not saying murican Big Tech is innocent, but no, i don’t think they’re legitimate targets as per internationally perceived rules of engagement (yet).

          Get real. Allied forces bombed factories all throughout WW2 and the US nuked civilian targets in Japan.

          The idea that wars have laws and rules is hilarious, because US has broken all of them with no consequences in 80 years.

          Even Obama drone striked entire villages, cowardice is what the US military does best.

            Actually i blame Rest of the World for not bringing muricans to justice, but yes.

          They are literally using these data centers for target selection and surveillance. How is that not a war machine? By your logic nothing the US military uses is a legitimate target because they don’t actually own the tanks and planes and missiles, they contract that all out to Blackwater and Lockheed etc.
