Activists urge Boston Dynamics to cancel ICE robot dog 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 its contract with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, urging the robotics company not to sell its Spot robot dog to an agency it says cannot be trusted with people. The campaign argues that supplying surveillance-capable robots to ICE raises serious human rights concerns.
Why now: Ongoing controversy over immigration enforcement tactics in the US has renewed scrutiny of companies supplying technology to ICE.
