Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency was using its technology for mass surveillance of civilians but added that it provided cloud-based productivity and collaboration tools to ICE.

They are enablers. They oil the machinery of the fascist regime, even if it's only by providing tools for ICE thugs to communicate more easily, instead of throwing sand into the gearbox as any decent man should.

If you want to get back at the collaborators, practice what MLK called economic withdrawal: don't buy Microsoft products or services whenever possible. Give your money to decent businesses.
