More than 1,100 Google employees have signed an internal petition calling on the company to stop selling technology to police departments.

In this case, employees say they want the company to stop selling technology to agencies that, they say, are using it for harm. The letter criticizes Google for citing the New York-based Clarkstown Police Department as auser of Google Cloud, the same agency that “has been sued multiple times for illegal surveillance of Black Lives Matter.

Google Cloud spokesperson Cynthia Horiguchi said in an email that employees have recently made over 500 product suggestions that are being reviewed by the company.“We’re committed to work that makes a meaningful difference to combat systemic racism, and our employees have made over 500 product suggestions in recent weeks, which we are reviewing.

Hey Google , getting harder to hide that liberal bias these days. DesperateDemocrats

right because why would we want our LE to track extremists groups, sex traffickers, child pornographers, gang activity, hate groups etc?

Google doesn’t want to support their local police, but have no trouble supporting the Chinese dictators.
