Well that sounds downright diabolical. Can you link a source to read about it more?

    Sure thing! As one of the global targets of the BDS movement, there’s plenty of resources for reading up on their categorically evil activities:

    Hi! I want to be better informed, and looking at the link investigate.afsc it says

    As far as we know, HP Inc is no longer involved in these activities.

    I think when people refer to HP (HPQ) they think of 'Hewlett Packard', and therefore take the name to also mean Hewlett Packard Enterprise ("HPE") but those appear to be two different things.

    What I can summize is that HP build the teck prior to the split, which is now used by EntServ and DXC not part of HP. HP built a R&D center

    It looks like the company continuously split and sold parts of it to get away from that legacy. By not demonstrating how they are not involved this shows a level of complicity.

    If we start to look at the people in the companies, this will start to paint a different picture - Antonio Neri who is the President and CEO of HPE has been with HP since 1995. In 1997 he was 'global director of HP's imaging and printing services division'. In 2004 the company's 'PC services business', then began 'heading the technology services business' in 2011. I wonder how he personally was involved in the things HP did during his time in these roles.
