No Tech for Apartheid

No Tech for Apartheid (NoTA) is an international campaign that works to end Project Nimbus, a contract between Google, Amazon and Israel. Starting with an anonymous letter written by Google and Amazon workers condemning the deal, the group eventually became a dedicated campaign with an emphasis on pressuring the two tech giants to cancel the project. The workers argue that the relative lack of oversight for the project means it likely will be used for violent purposes. Under the terms of the agreement, it appears that the companies in question are not permitted to deny services to any government entities, meaning that while certain uses might run up against their terms of service, Google and Amazon are not necessarily able to prevent services provided as part of Nimbus from being used for violent acts.
