Hypocritical corporate virtue signaling at best
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.
Microsoft claims they cut of some services from isereal’s unit 8200
Some doesn’t meal all
Also it’s a claim from Microsoft in a email seen by the guardian, we don’t know ìf the claim is actually true and they could be continuing in secret
Fuckin’ A! This is why liberals so always fucking lose. “Not GOOD enough! Not PURE enough!”. All while the right says, “Meh, I’ll take it as a win.”
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/
In case it wasn’t clear, companies will gladly kill you if it pads their bottom line. Their only principle is “make more money”.
Mainly just the megacorps, which most of us don’t work for.
Sitting a manager’s meeting, we had a choice. Do the thing that would cost our customers more, and bring us more profit, or do the moral thing. Customers were basically trapped, would have had to suck it up. After taking our input, the VP said, “Well… Guess we gotta do the right thing.”
My last job saw our CEO telling the board he intended to lose money over the next two years in order to build up our staff and products. The board applauded him. We fucked around and made a profit anyway. :)
Wish we had the moral fortitude to not work for these megacorps. Hell, even a strike could bring them to their knees overnight. Keep in mind, we’re so efficient now, “just in time” delivery and such, that a week-long strike would be devastating. Remember how fucking up the supply chain during COVID rattled downstream for a couple of years?

Just a few years too late. I wonder how many people, not just terrorist, but civilians, men, women, children have been murdered with the help and for profits for Microsoft.
A little bit late, eh…
History will remeber that Microsoft has comitted the bloodiest and most evil use of AI ever to this date.
Imagine going to court for some case and finding out your judge was an AI software. Now imagine that it would also execute you and your whole family just because they were in the same house with you without jury or human input.
Plantir and Microsoft technology were used to choose targets (with freaking AI) to guide the missiles and directly bomb and kill thousands of innocent civilians.
Israel was going for a death toll, they said it explicitly themselves.
AI “errors” had nothing to do with the outcome in Gaza. The IDF would have used another sloppier metric for targeting, they flat out don’t care as long as they still get money and US troops defending them.
“If you keep using our tech to slaughter Palestinians we’re going to have put a stop to it….later….after they are all dead and we’ve made our money”
Someone is going to pick up this business.
sureeee. I am gonna press x.
I guess all of the people who quit, or were forced out over this, are just shit out of luck?
Nee er doing the wrong thing is better. It is me never too late to do the right thing though.
