How do you reconcile this with drone strikes that take out entire weddings just to get one individual?

Or the infamous “signature strikes” that target individuals based on metadata? [1]

Reading the discussion, it appears this policy was due to a customer request, and not some legal requirement.

I wonder how the HN crowd feels about that? There was a lot of talk recently about how companies should not sacrifice their values and kowtow to the demands of large clients.

As a company that values freedom of movement and is remote first, this prevents their employees from moving to where they want. Does this also mean they can’t vacation there either?

Or just bribing people in “allowed” countries.

I also learned a lot and some of the employees made great points.

I’m wondering, can the US government legally issue a National Security Letter to an individual employee that forces them to comply and spy for them?

If they can, does this also mean the employee has no legal recourse since NSLs must be kept secret?
