I'm still curious as to how this applies to reporters, who also have bosses.


That's what I wondered, so I looked into it a bit more. 

Apparently the issue is that Google was selling something called "Project Nimbus" to the Israeli government and military,
which involved cloud computing and AI.  If that were used for management and surveillance of, say,
the population of the West Bank under military control, I can see why employees might want no part of that.

They were lead by a group called "No Tech for Aparheid" which is also protesting Amazon.

Likely a product that they would be willing to accept money for from just about anyone who could afford it?
