Neveragain.tech is silly to me because they pledge:
> We refuse to participate in the creation of databases of identifying information for the United States government to target individuals based on race, religion, or national origin.
But then you have people signing it who work for companies like Google and Facebook that obviously already have built huge databases to target individuals based on race, religion and national origin to show them ads.
If the US government really wanted to go full fascist, these companies have conveniently collated all the data for them.
It's like saying "I'm happy to work on building nuclear bombs, as long as you pinky-swear you'll only ever use them for digging harbours."[0]
