The revelations highlighted how Israel has relied on the services and infrastructure of major US technology companies to support its bombardment of Gaza, which has killed more than 65,000 Palestinians, mostly civilians, and created a profound humanitarian and starvation crisis.

Big Tech companies are essentially arms dealers.

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.

Because there are so few Palestinians left alive that they can be surveyed using binoculars, pen and paper now? Sure, it's great they stopped, but they sure took they sweet time...
