    Hello Twitter! We are a group of workers calling for accountability and transparency in the tech we build. With the detentions and abuses of people in concentration camps by ICE, we are reminded of the role IBM played during the Holocaust

    The help of IBM in implementing the Holocaust is one of the lesser-known stories of the time. But IBM's help was indispensable for a regime that was planning on industrial efficiency to catalogue and kill Jews.

    BREAKING: We're releasing a new report: "The War Against Immigrants: Trump's Tech Tools Powered by Palantir" today. It's a comprehensive look at Palantir’s work & the web of personal connections that make it all happen, all centered around Peter Thiel.

    , is a senior leader blocking workers with dissenting views what Amazon means when it says leaders should, “have backbone?”

    As Amazonians, we are told to take Ownership for our work, meaning we "never say 'that's not my job.’” We tagged in a tweet because he dismissed our concerns about building facial rec and hosting Palantir’s tech for ICE. This is how he responded. Where’s the Ownership?

    Amazon sells 8chan owner Jim Watkins’ audiobooks on . We urge our company to stop selling his books and giving a lifeline for white supremacists.

    3. How does 8chan stay in business? The man who operates 8chan, Jim Watkins, monetizes the site, in part, through Amazon is aware of it & has done nothing How many more people have to die before major corporations stop sending Watkins cash?

    This is the second flyer that employees have been posting around our offices. We are inspired by the actions of workers and stand with Microsoft & Salesforce employees who have also spoken out against their companies' contracts with ICE.

    Additionally, hosting Palantir is "harmful to our reputation" because it hurts customer trust and leads to negative publicity. By continuing to host Palantir despite clear documentation of ongoing abuses that result from their products, AWS is choosing not to enforce its TOS.

    Palantir directly enables ICE to "violate the rights of others" by powering the deportation processes that are rounding up immigrants and putting them in concentration camps.

    The AWS Acceptable Use Policy states that "[a]ny activities that are illegal, that violate the rights of others, or that may be harmful to others, our operations or reputation" may be grounds to "suspend or terminate" use of our services.

    Last year, said the AWS Terms of Service would ensure customers of our facial recognition technology would use it “responsibly”. How can we have any faith in this if we continue to allow Palantir to operate on AWS?

    We stand with employees. No one should be making a profit off the humanitarian disaster in ICE concentration camps.

    The largest independent PR firm, Edelman, signed a contract with for-profit corrections company The Geo Group, a top contractor for ICE, to help Geo change negative perception. And then canceled it because employees spoke up.

    Thanks for speaking up, workers! 👏 Cc

    This story about demonstrates the power (and importance!) of employee activism, especially when executives put profit before values, which is the case unfortunately in most companies.

    According to this article, Amazon is working with 200 police agencies to push Ring and its app Neighbors, which “has a problem with racial profiling”. This is just another example of our technology being deployed without regard for its effects.
