>First the military drones, now getting in bed with China, and the law straw was removing almost every mention of "Don't be evil" from its workers' code of conduct manual. I'm sorry, but providing services to the US military (as an American company) does not qualify as 'evil'. I hear the same insane calls for not providing services to ICE, a federal, civilian agency enforcing American democratically-derived laws. Wit…

Spoken like a true boot licker. It is absolutely the responsibility of every sovereign citizen and every company made up of those citizens to resist objectively evil behavior regardless of the larger apparatus at work. Saying it “isn’t fair” for google to take the high road is the most asinine childish argument you could possibly put fourth. It isn’t fair that people are having their human rights curtailed for profit…

>You are wrong to say we democratically voted in ICE.

Do you not understand how your own democratic system works? You don't democratically vote in any policy. You elect representatives charged with creating laws (Congress) and enforcing laws (Executive Branch). ICE is a federal agency created by Congress under the Homeland Security Act, with specific task of enforcing immigration laws and investigating immigration law breaches.
