#notallgooglers are ok with assisting in drone assassinations but the dozen resigning employees is a minuscule fraction of the company's 70,000 total. This means that nearly all Googlers have no ethical problems with the military use of drones or the president having a personal kill list. Maybe they could even add some AI to help with collating and sorting that list, for maximum efficiency.

  Google Employees Resign in Protest Against Pentagon Contract
  
  from Gizmodo
  
  It’s been nearly three months since many Google employees—and the public—learned about the company’s decision to provide artificial intelligence to a controversial military pilot program known as Project Maven, which aims to speed up analysis of drone footage by automatically classifying images of objects and people. Now, about a dozen Google employees are resigning in protest over the company’s continued involvement in Maven.
