It shouldn't be a surprise that companies - and for our field, technology companies specifically - working with the defense industry tends to raise eyebrows. With things like the genocide in Gaza, the threats of genocide and war crimes against Iran, the mass murder in Lebanon, it's no surprise t

Someone pointed out a document which isn't worded well, Red Hat acknowledged it and took it down. The thread is still there, there isn't any cover up, no take-down notices, no attempt to scrub the document from archives. They just took down one of dozens of DoD documents from their website. There is no effort to hide the document existed or the discussion about removing it.

It's one docuent moved or removed from the RH website. But the Red Hat website has a whole Defence contracting category on their website which is active and talks about this stuff.

This doesn't look like a "scrub" or a cover-up, just one document being moved among dozens of similar documents: https://www.redhat.com/en/solutions/public-sector/dod

Otherwise it's just a wiki leak for what we know technology will already do. In fact, I'd take this as a parody of reality, we know Linux was declared an enemy of Facebook, and AWS, Google, and Azure just offer Redhat as one ISO they'll gladly run for these kill cycles. I'd scrub it too, it looks like disinfo to convince a violent charlatan to invest in open source 🥲

Not one to deny the Streisand Effect, this is suppose to be a link to the paper.
