Should a company like Meta be involved in military combat technology?

Anytime we want to see technological advancements, we either keep an eye on Product Hunt, Techcrunch or the military. And that's today's case.

In the morning, I read this announcement:

Meta is partnering with defense tech company Anduril to develop AR/VR headsets for the U.S. military, starting with a new device called “EagleEye.” The new headset will include night vision, thermal sensing, and augmented reality features.

The partnership has raised eyebrows due to Meta’s role in data and AI, and the ethical implications of a social media giant entering the military tech space.

I know that during the last century, large companies also adapted to the situation (e.g. AT&T and IBM also influenced the events of WW2 through their activities)...

How do you perceive this move by Meta?
Can we trust companies like this, with their track record on privacy and data ethics, to handle tools of war?

I am really curious: does this excite you, concern you, or both? 😅
