The hardest problem in computer science is to make a social network without nazis

@bruvik

Undermining Nazi social networks led to the development of the computer.

@ninawildflower @bruvik Please be aware that the first modern computer was the Zuse Z1, developed by Konrad Zuse in Germany during the Nazi regime.

@bruvik @elshid @ninawildflower That doesn’t make him a Nazi. He himself was never a member of the Nazi Party.

@catacosmosis @bruvik @ninawildflower I absolutely agree. He never was a member of the NSDAP, either. But from all the sources I have, he did not use his machine against the Nazis. He also got paid for the calculating machine, AKA computer (200.000 Reichsmark).

So, all in all, the Computer was not invented to combat the Nazis, however, many advances in Computer Science and Cryptography were indeed the result of the fight against the Nazis, as for example the ones by Alan Turing.
