Boston Dynamics staff protest company's ICE robot dog deal

Original: WHAT DID WE FUCKING SAY WHAT DID WE FUCKING SAY WHAT DID WE FUCKING SAY WHAT DID WE FUCKING SAY WHAT DID WE... ICE plan

More than 300 Boston Dynamics employees have signed a protest against the robotics company's plan to sell robot dogs to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, warning the deal carries serious risks. The company says it stands by the contract. Critics argue the technology could be used in raids and deportations, and many online voices say they had warned this would happen.

Why now: The open letter from employees over the ICE contract has just become public, drawing widespread anger and vindication from opponents of immigration enforcement.
