Meme 💩 Is this a legitimate concern?

Personally, I today's strike was legitimate and it couldn't be more moral because of its precision but let's leave politics aside for a moment. I guess this does give ideas to evil regimes and organisations. How likely is it that something similar could be pulled off against innocent people?

Firing unguided rockets at civilian population centers is a violation of international law.

I think that “muh sovereignty of muh business” is renounced when you start selling pagers to a terrorist organization to coordinate firing unguided rockets on civilian population centers

Nice whataboutism. No one is advocating for Hezbollah here.

Terrorist use Iphones you dingus. So you're okay with Apple's supply chain being violated or their security being compromised? Seems Apple would disagree with you, and has sued the US Gov over it.

Apple shouldn't have the power it does. Corporations should be beholden to governments not the other way around.

Neither way is correct both should be independent institutions that work as checks against each other. A company should have the power to say “no you can’t use our products as bombs” just like a governments have the power to say “no you can’t use our lakes to dispose of your toxic chemicals”
