I remember the days (long past) when Google would refuse this type of work... back when their employees actually had a voice.

their emps still have a voice. it just so happens to be the voice of evil. at this point working there is the same as volunteering for the us military: you are an evil piece of shit.

... back when their employees actually had a voice.

their employees are highly reactionary and flew into fits of mass rages every time they suspected a contractor might be enabled to work on software alongside them.

the only thing that quelled the masses of pitch forks and torches were the leadership.

this was back in 2007 so i'm sure it's changed now.

Do ~~no~~ evil.
