Campaign urges Boston Dynamics to end ICE Spot robot sales
Original: Tell # Boston Dynamics to kill the # ICE contract. Do not sell Spot to an agency that cannot be trusted with people, let
An advocacy campaign is calling on Boston Dynamics to cancel its contract with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, urging the robotics company not to sell its Spot robot dog to an agency it says cannot be trusted with people. Critics have long protested Boston Dynamics' partnerships with law enforcement and border agencies.
Why now: Renewed debate over the ethics of selling police and military-grade robots to immigration enforcement agencies.
