During a presentation by an executive with Google’s Israel branch on Monday, a Google Cloud engineer stood up and shouted, “I refuse to build technology that powers genocide or surveillance.” They were later fired.

Great that he’s standing up for himself!
…ok now why did you even send your resume to Google
Wonder when he had his “are we the baddies” moment.
The context was Gaza though, so I mean neutrally surveillance can mean lots of things: security cameras at a convenience store, a security contract for the government or another corporation. What this person was protesting was supporting Isreal and it’s war/control over Gaza. The article sort of misses the point and the headlines really kills it.
Funny, but it’s more complicated than reductive
What is “it” in your sentence?
