Download software dagli Stati Uniti: privacy vs. armi di distruzione di massa

Questa mattina ho scaricato un database da una nota azienda negli Stati Uniti.

Fin qui nulla di strano.

Solo che invece dello stupido e inutile controllo sulla privacy mi sono trovato a rispondere a queste domande:


  • I am not a citizen, national or resident of, and am not under the control of, the government of: Cuba, Iran, Sudan, Libya, North Korea, Syria, nor any other country to which the United States has prohibited export.

  • I will not download or otherwise export or re-export the Programs, directly or indirectly, to the above mentioned countries nor to citizens, nationals or residents of those countries.

  • I am not listed on the United States Department of Treasury lists of Specially Designated Nationals, Specially Designated Terrorists, and Specially Designated Narcotic Traffickers, nor am I listed on the United States Department of Commerce Table of Denial Orders.

  • I will not download or otherwise export or re-export the Programs, directly or indirectly, to persons on the above mentioned lists.

  • I will not use the Programs for, and will not allow the Programs to be used for, any purposes prohibited by United States law, including, without limitation, for the development, design, manufacture or production of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons of mass destruction.
Simpatico no? Mi immagino proprio il terrorista che dice si con gusto a tutte le domande e intanto si cucca alta tecnologia americana...
