“Google issued a stern warning to its employees, with the company’s vice president of global security, Chris Rackow, saying, “If you’re one of the few who are tempted to think we’re going to overlook conduct that violates our policies, think again,” according to an internal memo obtained by CNBC.”
Well on the bright side, getting fired from one of the largest mega corps in the world for complaining about the company’s providing resources to kill civilians is a hell of a thing to be able to put on your resume.
On the not so bright side, I don’t like being a background character in a cyberpunk story.

Probably, but I would much rather be a background character in the intro to a space opera instead.
You mean those who are on a huge space station that gets blown to bits during the intro sequence?
Yay, space opera! 🥰
Highly recommend almost everything by Peter F. Hamilton if you haven’t read them, arguably top 3 space opera authors ❤️
Edit …: and Boo! Google!
Where’s the best place to start?

Isn’t it illegal to fire protesting workers? At least here in Germany its illegal as far as I know. But it must be a protest event (which it seems to be).
Please note that Germany has (compared to other EU members) quite strict and company-friendly protesting laws.
Such protests may be even considered as political protest (Politischer Streik) which makes them not illegal per se but could be illegal. https://www.bpb.de/themen/medien-journalismus/netzdebatte/219308/ein-bisschen-verboten-politischer-streik/
Yes, I don‘t think such protests would fall under the general protesting laws as they have nothing to do with your working conditions.
The don’t be evil to you must help us commit genocide pipeline
So, protesting for human rights is “violating Google policies”???
Don’tbe evil.Why did you put the question marks there?
Google would murder every single one of these people for that contract get real. I can’t see how anyone expected to keep their jobs after this.
I’m just shocked it went on for like 8h lmao
