I would not work on autonomous weapons or mass surveillance technology, and if I were the CEO of a company, I would abstain from deploying that company's resources in this fashion.

In your mind, does this statement provide sufficient evidence to prove that I obviously intend to work in the interests of whichever country my ancestors immigrated from?

You not working on them is entirely different than Google not working on them AND the looming threat of a Google patent lawsuit preventing anyone else in the country from working on them too.

I stated:

"...and if I were the CEO of a company, I would abstain from deploying that company's resources in this fashion."

Including Google. If I were the CEO of Googe, I would do this.

Don't avoid the question. In your mind, does this statement provide sufficient evidence to prove that I obviously intend to work in the interests of whichever country my ancestors immigrated from?
