I like how people are being trained Pavlovian style to go after tech companies that provide services to alphabet agencies with this administration. Did people complain with the last administration? Will people complain with the next administration?
Whether you agree or not with the current administration, the government still needs to operate and keep in line with technology. If you are angry with how DHS and ICE operate, what do you propose? Jeopardize the safety Americans for what benefit?
HN/Silicon Valley/tech is extremely left-leaning but seems to forget that SV was borne out of warfare. It has close ties to the military from research to investment and many of our advanced technologies today are from defense projects.
Complaining about such things is usually a luxury by people who have never experienced the serious crime and poverty that exists in the world and afflicts billions everyday. In a way, it's a good thing that life can be so comfortable, but it also causes a loss in perspective.
