#NoGCPforCBP #NoPrideInYT #StandAgainstTransphobia All opinions our own, we don't speak for or on behalf of our employer.

YouTube is remonetizing Steven Crowder. Remember him? We wish we didn’t. So here we go again, we suppose - We have #NoPrideInYT.

[Carlos Maza @gaywonk]

In the past few months, Crowder has:
- published conspiracy theories about COVID
- called BLM a terrorist organization
- made multiple videos about how "TRANSGENDERS ATTACK!"

These are all in violation of YouTube's policies. Not a single one has been removed.

"If you read internet comment threads on reporting about the controversy, you can clearly see the threat this rhetoric poses for trans people. And you have to be aware that it is happening." - a signer of https://t.co/GwoSvCTdw2 #NetflixWalkout

We stand with trans employees at Netflix!

[Google Walkout For Real Change @GoogleWalkout]

We are privileged to share this letter:
As trans* Googlers & their allies, we feel silence is an inappropriate response to the recent events at Netflix & subsequent walkouts. In this letter, the opinions we express are entirely our own. #NetflixWalkout

If you work at Apple, we hope you’ll join your coworkers @AppleLaborers fighting for a better workplace for all. The issues we’ve been fighting aren’t just found at Google, they’re systemic - #AppleToo. Spread the word!

“The added cases could expand US employees’ legal rights to protest the societal impact of their company’s work … This reflects a growing movement among rank-&-file tech workers who are pushing to have a say in how their work is used.” #NoGCPforCBP

Quite a bit too late, but sure. Now do ICE:
“Amazon is the invisible backbone of ICE’s immigration crackdown“ https://t.co/HfG1GAy9CQ

[Brian Fung @b_fung]

Parler will be deplatformed from AWS at 11:59 pm Pacific time on Sunday for what Amazon told it was repeated examples of violent rhetoric and incitement.

Amazon told Parler that it flagged 98 examples of this type of content and that it will no longer host Parler's website.

This is great news, but it’s not over yet. Next up to be vindicated by the NLRB: @Tri_Becca90, @SophieJusticeW, and @nullvoidstar.

[Google Walkout For Real Change @GoogleWalkout]

The NLRB has begun confirming what we’ve said all along:

“Google violated US labor laws by spying on workers who were organizing employee protests, then firing two of them, according to a complaint to be filed by the National Labor Relations Board today.

One year later, we now find out things have gotten even worse. We call on Google to cancel this contract and commit to #NoGCPforCBP. We know public pressure works. Something has to give. #NoTechForICE

We won’t be complicit: #NoGCPforCBP
With this petition, we call on Google to publicly commit not to support CBP, ICE or ORR w/ any infrastructure, funding, or engineering resources, directly or indirectly, until they stop engaging in human rights abuses.

This is disgusting.
If an Amazon recruiter reaches out, make sure to share this as an example of creating a hostile work environment. Feel free to add in how they treat their warehouse workers.

[Transphobia in image]

According to The Verge, YouTube says “Mr. Crowder has also taken steps to address the behavior that led to his suspension and has demonstrated a track record of policy-compliant behavior.”

...you’re kidding, right? #NoPrideInYT

Our biggest question: why? Why let a bigot make money directly off of your platform, again, especially after #NoPrideInYT when the right thing to do was made quite clear? When new videos are still being posted? When new harm is being done?

[Coalition for Critical Technology @forcriticaltech]

We welcome the news Springer will not be publishing the article in question, but our demands are unmet. How did things get this far in the first place? This isn’t about one article—we need to truly abolish the #TechToPrisonPipeline. See/sign https://t.co/GYVudPYuIA for more.

[Coalition for Critical Technology @forcriticaltech]

As per a press release, Springer will publish “A Deep Neural Network Model to Predict Criminality Using Image Processing.” Sign our letter to urge all publishers to refrain from feeding the #TechToPrisonPipeline with physiognomy 2.0.

If you’re a tech worker, check if your company is matching donations to bail funds or other (Black-led) organizations doing the work. https://t.co/KXv2GjEboo is a great directory to search for funds by state. #BlackLivesMatter #GeorgeFloyd #BreonnaTaylor #TonyMcDade #AhmaudArbery

We stand with you and @marencosta, Emily. This must be called what it is: a craven act of retaliation. Your work has echoed across the industry - we're here for you ❤️

[Amazonians: We Won't Build It @WeWontBuildIt]

BREAKING: After firing & planning to smear a worker organizing to keep him & his coworkers safe in the #COVID19 pandemic (which has already cost countless lives), Amazon has retaliated against 2 tech workers with @AMZNforClimate.

THIS WILL COST LIVES AND AMAZON DOESN'T CARE.
