I see it as the opposite, its a lousy excuse of a message trying to get people not to think that they are giving in. Instead they list the horrible uses that they are already helping the government with. Dont worry, we only help murder people in other countries not the US. They also keep calling it the "Department of War" which means that this message is not for "us", its them begging publicly to Hegseth.
What would the ideal response have been, in your view?
Well, they should not have made a contract in the first place with a government that we all knew was going to be this bad. They should be doing everything in their power to cancel all government contracts at this point.
"Regardless, these threats do not change our position: we cannot in good conscience accede to their request."
Yes, that is great, for people from the US. For people in Europe and other locations, this just proves that they dont really care as the tool is already being used against us. It quite clear to me that anyone outside the US should immediately cancel all contracts with these corporations, as well as work their hardest at blocking their bots online.
