Chipmakers Sued for Aiding Russian Weapons

Major microchip manufacturers, including Intel, AMD, and Texas Instruments, are facing lawsuits for allegedly failing to prevent their technology from aiding Russian-made weapons used in Ukraine. Dozens of Ukrainian civilians have filed suits, accusing these companies of willful ignorance and domestic corporate negligence. The lawsuits claim that the companies knew their chip technology was reaching Russia but did not do enough to stop it. The companies maintain they comply with sanctions and have strict policies to monitor compliance, but a Bloomberg News investigation and US government urgings suggest these measures may not be sufficient. Mouser Electronics, owned by Warren Buffetts Berkshire Hathaway, is also named in one of the lawsuits for allegedly facilitating the transfer of chips to Russian proxies.The Daily News Now! — Every city.
