A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

You would think that, but no. It's specifically the Red Cross organization. Which is an international organization.

It can also be used by militaries and such for Geneva Convention complaint medical use, such as search and rescue operations or medical centers and such.

That's it. Those are the only legally allowed uses. And even Geneva Convention complaint medical use is often run by the international organization.
