@wizzwizz4 @JulianOliver I feel you have a very different idea about the core of colonialism. In my book, it is the exploitation of a territory and its indigenous population by a foreign power for profit purposes with the goal to replace that population's power and culture with your own. the difference in this case being that in the data Mgmt case, noone is being exploitative, and Microsoft et Al has no interest in removing Maori culture.

The mere capability to do evil (censoring culture) is not evil in itself. In fact, an argument can be made that being unable for evil does not make you a good actor, only capability and self-restraint does.
