Google employees call for pledge not to work with ICE
Associated Press ^ | August 16, 2019 | Rachel Lerman

Hundreds of Google employees are calling on the company to pledge it won’t work with U.S. Customs and Border Protection or Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It’s the latest in a year full of political and social pushback from the tech giant’s workforce.

A group of employees called Googlers for Human Rights posted a public petition urging the company not to bid on a cloud computing contract for CBP, the federal agency that oversees law enforcement for the country’s borders. Bids for the contract were due Aug. 1. It is not clear if Google expressed interest. The company did not return a request for comment.

More than 900 Google employees had signed the petition by Friday afternoon. Citing a “system of abuse” and “malign neglect” by the agencies, the petition demands that Google not provide any technical services to CBP, ICE or the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), which provides services for refugees, until the agencies “stop engaging in human rights abuses.” …

About 3 years ago I moved off gmail to ProtonMail. I got rid of chrome and always use Ghostery when browsing. I never use any search, maps contacts or calendar. I unlocked my android and run /e on it , basically android without google.

For those still using google, please stop. They make their money mining and using the intimate details of your life to control you and society. Stop using google, you fund your own demise.

The last part is not wholly based on “religion”, since they do it to Uyghurs but not the Hui (the latter are Han by ethnicity and are not restricted to the Sinkiang region). Not to mention, there’s a sort of false dilemma when it comes to “re-educating” from Islam into atheistic communism; both are hate-based and terrorism-promoting.

There are also the matters of Red China being militaristic on Hong Kong’s frontier, and threatening Taiwan. Also claiming the entire South China Sea as its own.

These same employees force a Baker against his religious convictions to bake a cake.

The employee action make Google unqualified for the contract.

Employee sabotage of sensitive cloud data is an ironclad certainty if google receives the contract.

The google employees have crapped in their own nest

Google is controlled by China. They have no business influencing the election.

Use this as the basis of withdrawing all Google contracts with the federal government. If they’re outright boycotting on conscience, it is logical to assume either poor quality work or outright interference on other projects to punish the Trump administration.

You don’t want it. We can’t trust you because you hate us. No more work or money for you.

Given that they hate the American system and actively enabled China, that shows they DO hate us. And want to set up oppression by algorithm HERE.

“”or the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), which provides services for refugees””

Are they serious? This is a federal agency that fleeces taxpayers to HELP immigrants - legal or otherwise - and they want to stop it??? It looks like someone didn’t do their homework. We’d ALL be for getting rid of the ORR permanently.

I think it’s time for the Justice Department to go after Google on antitrust charges!

Google lets employees demand how the company is ran,sounds like Google needs to do some massive purging of the riffraff.

Was Google’s “pledge” written in Russian? Or Chinese?
