@fjFrédéric Jacobs

Thanks for mentioning _IBM & the Holocaust_ early last year & again now. I've mentioned that book in talks for years — not just for its content, but for the meta-issue: $IBM's (relatively successful) PR campaigns to keep the book & its research marginalized.

>20 years later, $PLTR does not even need to use PR to discredit those documenting Karp's willingness to do evil with code (if the price is right). It's just widely considered standard operating procedure in Big Tech.
