These tools will just be used to gather evidence for character assasination to justify future killings.
So just curious when all your tech people are going to stage a worker strike against this fascist bullshit? What do you just wanna get a gold bar like Tim Cook did?
Maybe this will finally wake up all the people working for, building, and and enabling ad-tech and surveillance capitalism. Probably not, but we can hope. You're not just an "engineer" for Facebook or Google at this point. You are enabling fascism.
As a child, evil was giant walking nuclear robots and monologuing villains and the temptation of otherworldly power, but as an adult, this is evil’s most common form. Come sell out democracy and humanity for a few bucks.

> I can’t afford healthcare or electricity, and ICE just abducted my neighbor. But at least I no longer have to see plaques that mention slavery when I visit national landmarks.
Second day in a row seeing a post like, it will be censored in 3 2 1 ...

Can’t allow anything to get in the way of those yc startups seeking ICE contracts. The tech-bro elite need to make their $$$ assisting in hunting down modern day Anne Franks.

I would encourage anyone working for companies that aid ICE to stop work and do everything you can as an employee. There is a real opportunity to do something. “I only worked for the company that provided cloud services” will be the new “I was just following orders.”

Is there a complete list? Palantir, Amazon, Salesforce, Microsoft.

Correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t there 195 countries on the planet that all have legal and illegal immigrants?

Also please keep in mind I’m a life long liberal that voted for Ralph Nader and Bernie Sanders.

This has now been flagged twice today when it has a legitimate tech/privacy angle. Unbelievable.
Let the flagging process be automated on what should be removed and wipe your hands of any wrong doing. I do understand that anything ICE-related at this current time will inevitably lead to heated political discussions that run counter to the HN ethos but it is unfortunate. It seems we can continue upvoting older EFF/Wired posts on ICE tech to keep the situation on the front page, though. Also seems increasingly bipartisan in the US that Alex Pretti's execution was not justified.
Not surprised this got flagged but this is an important time to start putting this stuff out here. Thanks eoskx for trying.
