The policy affects ‘new customers and a small number of existing customers’ The policy affects ‘new customers and a small number of existing customers’ Tech giant Salesforce has entered the debate over gun control in the US with a policy that forbids customers who use its software from selling certain firearms. The ban applies to semi-automatic weapons, 3D-printed guns, and a range of accessories, including large-capacity magazines and devices that make semi-automatic guns fully automatic.
Main Idea: Salesforce says it will stop working with retailers that sell semi-automatic weapons and some related gun parts.
Key Points:
Retailers that use Salesforce may face added costs or lose access if they sell banned guns, which could disrupt workers and customers in those stores.
Salesforce’s policy may make it harder for some gun sellers to reach buyers, which could reduce sales of certain weapons and related parts.
