GitHub tries to quell employee anger over its ICE contract
I question how much an employee should concern him&#x2F;herself with how a product is used once it&#x27;s created.   You have to let certain control go after a point.  Or if your product is open to everyone, you&#x27;ll have to live with the fact that people may use it in ways you disagree with.<p>Xerox or Canon (or whoever) probably makes copiers that ICE uses to make copies.  Lenovo or Apple probably makes hardware that they use also to further their functions.   Ford&#x2F;GM probably supply ICE with vehicles.  Farmers grow crops that get into their the meals that ICE personnel eat.  Pilots and flight attendants probably have knowingly transported ICE employees.<p>Why don&#x27;t the employees at all these other companies object like Github employees?  Why do Github employees get a special right to withhold consent for their product to be used in a setting they might object to?   Why is ICE the only company that they object to?   Why do some causes get their favor and not others?<p>Where do we start?  Where do we stop?
