Are you making the general argument that automation is bad because it removes potential whistleblowers? Should all government tech have limitations on automation, or just ones involved with killing?
Well, tech is limited in polling booths which most people agree is a good thing.
Automation in warfare and one-sided removal of the human element for the richest side isn't necesserially bad, but it is bad when we can't trust the governments who have this technology and when they repeatedly act unethically.
