The company's ethical principles state "if our products are being used for harm, we will take appropriate measures to mitigate that misuse." However, it's unclear what those mitigation measures would be.

ICE's entire purpose is to cause harm, you stupid assholes!

Boston Dynamics was a much cooler company when they were known as Boston Acoustics, selling car audio gear.

Mit was cool until they had significant ties to the IDF.
