"we would not sell technology to the nazis would we? but before anyone else does, we wil sell to the nazis..." also "we feel obliged to think hard about this problem and take a longer-term view" pretty much means "fuck you we will do it and we dont care about your concerns". this machine kills.. it will collect data and will get you killed.

They are so deeply evil they make the scumbags at FB look righteous.
Thatâ(TM)s why a lot of responses here are misguided, China can make their own tech and will reject American influence peddling there, or data collection. This is a symbolic coin of some sort if it happens, part of a bigger deal...
If an american company is doing it, and has the technology there -- it just means that in 6 months to a year, all the Chinese companies will also have that same technology.

Yeah, that's what every major company said about investing in China. Look where that got us: Tiananmen Square in the 80s.
