Sadly I knew it was fake when I read "Zero contracts with organizations that enable or accelerate the extraction of fossil fuels." Can't leave all that juicy cloud money behind.https://twitter.com/dhofstetter_x/status/1245323015627423748 …

"no but see, we're not _contracting_ with them, we're just providing bulk, fungible bytes and cycles!" At least that was always the party line for why GCP does business with horrific people.

To be fair, I've yet to figure out where my exact ethical boundaries are in that regard. For example, should Google: - Screen GCP customers that might do unethical things? - ... Analytics customers? - ... Fonts CDN customers? - ... Search customers (by IP range/ASN)?

And what distinguishes a no-special-engagement GCP contract vs. the latter 3 cases I've listed there? It's something I haven't really made my mind about. Not that my personal opinion matters much anyway on these matters :-)

It's hard, for sure. I got "lucky" in that it was hard over the line, so I didn't have to think about the gray area.

Yeah, that's pretty much my current stance too: there have been enough incidents where Google was waayy past my blurry undefined boundary, my activism budget is already exhausted :)
