  Since Donald Trump’s election, Google have moved rapidly to consolidate their position as the primary provider of the infrastructures of surveillance and oppression. In just the months following the inauguration, they have abandoned their pledge to not use artificial intelligence for surveillance or weaponry; they have begun work with US Customs and Border Protection to augment the southern border’s surveillance infrastructure (provided by Elbit) with AI capabilities; they have entered into an AI Lab partnership with Lockheed Martin, to use AI in targeted weapon systems; they have unveiled a collaboration with Palantir to accelerate the deployment of Google Cloud for sensitive government and military applications; and they have provided ICE with data about Palestine activists in the United States.24

  Yep. Good work organizing, keep it up!
