I read the official statement. Companies lie all the time, Amazon changes publicly stated values based on current administration (I think we all know their unstated core values, along with businesses that lost money, although the people that count seem to make money, regardless). We know these companies are heavily invested in the surveillance and "defense" industries. On the other hand, I can easily see this as an unfortunate error, either hardware or software. I'm probably just deeply distrustful of government, especially since politicians here seem to be mouthpieces of the very wealthy business leadership, and being pessimistic.
