Hypocritical corporate virtue signaling at best
Yeah, 3 years and they did not bother check how their tech was used by a state spy agency? Only review when journalists find out? Makes me wanna puke. And Amazon now hosting the data of mass surveilance...not one better than the other.
In the meantime will M$ reinstate all the employees they fired? Latest a month ago... Cuz well, they were right. https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/society-equity/microsoft-fires-four-workers-on-site-protests-over-companys-ties-israel-2025-08-29/
I'll take anything that's a move in the right direction at this point. Gaza is the modern-day Holocaust and anything that moves the needle to make the killing stop is a good thing.
