Is GitHub a hug part of what ICE ... does?

Personally I wouldn't want to work for a company actually detaining people, but call me terrible but I'm not sure I'd feel the same about letting them pay to host some code...

There's a big strain of consequentialism running through the modern left - no neutral service is held as neutral if it permits the 'wrong' customers.

How does this square with people being angry at banks working with drug cartels, or at a Chinese cellphone manufacturer doing business in Iran?

There are, in fact 'wrong customers' for the American right. It's just that their list of 'wrong customers' is different from that of the left.
