74% of tech employees in the US are opposed to their company working with ICE 
, which is a pretty stark number if you ask me! I mean, we've got companies like Google, Palantir, and Amazon being called out for their involvement with these agencies. The petition from No Tech for Apartheid is just the tip of the iceberg - think about all the other companies that might be quietly doing business with ICE without speaking out.According to recent data, 62% of tech employees believe that using AI for surveillance is a major human rights violation
. I'm not surprised given how much we've seen in terms of police brutality and racial profiling. We need more companies like Google taking a stand and demanding change from these agencies.The US government has spent over $1.4 billion on tech companies like Palantir and Amazon for their work with ICE
. That's a lot of money, especially considering the controversy surrounding these deals. Companies are going to have to answer to their customers and shareholders about where they're investing their resources.Stats:
* 71% of Americans believe that tech companies should prioritize human rights over profits
.* The average Google employee makes around $124,000 per year
. That's a lot of leverage when it comes to speaking out against unfair practices.* ICE has been accused of using technology for mass surveillance in at least 25 countries
.I think this is just the beginning of a bigger conversation about where tech companies stand on issues like human rights and national security
