Iran has announced that US tech companies who collaborate with the US military are now considered legitimate targets. I can’t argue that they’re wrong; this is _natural culmination_ of many years of unethical policymaking.
I resigned from Google back in 2018 in protest of the policies and leadership that created this situation. My resignation letter explicitly included my objections to “broadening US military surveillance”, “attempt[ing] to hide the company’s involvement from employees and the public”, “failure to respect our many non-US and immigrant colleagues”, “making strawmen of legitimate objections”, and perhaps most damningly “leadership apparently does not accept that [providing customized AI tools to the US military] is ethically wrong, but instead views it as a messaging failure.”
