GitHub tries to quell employee anger over its ICE contract
I question how much an employee should concern him/herself with how a product is used once it's created.   You have to let certain control go after a point.  Or if your product is open to everyone, you'll have to live with the fact that people may use it in ways you disagree with.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/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.Why don'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?Where do we start?  Where do we stop?
