A long-time Android security architect at Google announces his resignation, citing moral objections to the company’s AI energy impact and secret U.S. military contracts. He reflects on Google’s former “don’t be evil” culture, his achievements in user encryption and privacy, and why recent top-level decisions forced him to leave.

• A senior Android Security architect resigned over Google abandoning renewable energy goals to power AI and signing "any lawful purpose" DoD contracts.
• He says these military deals enable offensive warfare support and mass surveillance of Europeans, violating human rights norms and EU privacy law.
• Leadership made these decisions unilaterally with no internal debate or transparency before employees learned of them.
• He's giving three months' notice (through August 31, 2026), immediately cutting ties with AI work tied to the DoD deal while transitioning Android Security duties.
