> You have to let certain control go after a point. Why? If it's within your power to prevent your work from being put to use in service of something you find immoral, why not attempt to organize with like-minded workers and put a stop to it? If you can force your company to make a choice between a contract and its workforce, you can achieve your goal. There's no reason to let things go. > Why do Github employees get a special right to withhold consent for their product to be used in a setting they might object to? Because they have, or may have, the power to do so. If they can take control of their work, there's no reason not to do so. EDITED TO ADD: > Why don't the employees at all these other companies object like Github employees? They either don't object, or don't have the power within the company to object effectively.
