A growing group of more than 1,666 Google employees is demanding Google stop selling its technology to police departments, TechCrunch has learned. TechCrunch(美国科技类博客)获悉,已有超过1,666名谷歌员工要求谷歌停止将技术出售给警方。 “We’re disappointed to know that Google is still selling to police forces, and advertises its connection with police forces as somehow progressive, and seeks more expansive sales rather than severing ties with police and joining the millions who want to defang and defund these institutions,” employees wrote in a letter to Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai. 员工在写给谷歌首席执行官桑达尔·皮查伊的信中说:“我们很失望地了解到,谷歌仍然在向警方出售技术,还拿与警方的联系做宣传,说这是一种进步,同时还在试图扩大销售范围,而不是切断与警方的联系,加入数百万想要削弱和解散这些机构的人的行列中。” “Why help the institutions responsible for the knee on George Floyd’s neck to be more effective organizationally? Not only that, but the same Clarkstown police force being advertised by Google as a success story has been sued multiple times for illegal surveillance of Black Lives Matter organizers.” “为什么要帮助这些应该为跪杀乔治·弗洛伊德事件负责的机构,使它们能进行更有效地组织?不仅如此,被谷歌当做成功案例宣传的克拉克镇警方曾多次被起诉非法监视黑人人权运动的组织者。” |
