Borders Bids: Law Enforcement and Tuesday Afternoon

borders bids: A group of employees called Googlers for Human Rights posted a public petition urging the company not to bid on a cloud computing contract for CBP, the federal agency that oversees law enforcement for the country's borders, according to CTV. Bids for the contract were due Aug. 1. It's the latest in a year full of political and social pushback from the tech giant's workforce. It is not clear if Google expressed interest. More than 700 Google employees had signed the petition by Tuesday afternoon. The company did not return a request for comment. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
