Campaign urges Boston Dynamics to cut ICE robot contract
Original: Tell # Boston Dynamics to kill the # ICE contract. Do not sell Spot to an agency that cannot be trusted with people, let
A petition campaign is calling on Boston Dynamics to terminate a contract with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, arguing the agency should not be sold Spot, the company's four-legged robot. The campaign says ICE cannot be trusted with people, let alone robots, and is urging supporters to pressure the robotics firm directly. Critics of robotic policing have long warned about surveillance and enforcement uses of such machines.
Why now: Renewed concern over US immigration enforcement agencies acquiring advanced surveillance robotics.
