A static archive of Markus Tacker's tweets. Follow me on Mastodon: @[email protected].
"If and when we do discover violations of our terms or of laws, we take action
to enforce those terms, and do so in a principled, consistent way."
But on page one he admits that they do not know what ICE is using GitHub
Enterprise Server for.
"presumably for software development and version control." - which makes it
obvious that it is a tool to be used for the software which helps in enforcing
inhuman immigration policies.
"As a matter of principle, we believe the appropriate way to advocate for our
values in a democracy is to use our corporate voice"
A voice should not be mute where it matters the most: "we do not accept your
money".
"we believe it would be wrong for GitHub to demand that software developers tell
us what they are using our tools to do."
This is a blanket cheque and basically means that they'll allow anything to be
done with their software and knowledge.
It makes me sad to read this.
