> hypothetically tomorrow will only host code for Democrats
I can imagine a more disturbing (possible) hypothetical: the activists are successful, and Github terminates it's ICE contract. Nobody else will host their code. ICE still has source code that needs to be hosted, so they hire more developers to maintain their own internal source-code repository. Those developers are subsequently blackballed from future employment opportunities due to their past association with ICE.
- iron0013 6y agoWhy is that disturbing? Corporations deciding not to hire developers who have worked for oppressive governments seems perfectly reasonable.
- sudosysgen 6y agoThat sounds perfectly reasonable. The goal of hampering ICE is achieved, and collateral damage while inevitable is minimal.
