After days of disruption by pro-Palestine activists at its Build developer conference, No Azure for Apartheid said, Microsoft made it impossible to send emails containing "Palestine" or "Gaza."
It is the impunity they believe they have, it is nauseating and we have to get this dick in the dock or he might get a fright when we get a good and left wing government here.
There's a lot of characters to cut down to size. We have to do it and end impunity and that can only happen when we beef up international law and have an enforcement mechanism.
More reason to have stricter control and guard rails over these “tech-bros”. This reflects really bad on Microsoft. Including Bill Gates, his philanthropic history in helping get children vaccinated has no merit now. If he as one of the major owners/founder of Microsoft is happy to support this in the business. Even knowing that he's not part of the day to day running of the business, but he still has massive sway and pull in what happens at Microsoft. The current CEO Jay Parikh cares more about money and business interest than being a socially just/moral company. Poor form Microsoft. Poor Form. And super complicit. Also if Microsoft has nothing to hide than please Microsoft release your “internal investigation report” that found Microsoft’s operations did not cause harm to civilians in Gaza. I will bet significant money they will never release that report to the public. They know it will never pass public scrutiny.
Insanity! It's not enough to kill, starve and bomb 2 Million men, women and children? Now we can't say Gaza?
Even the sinful creatures of the Holocaust weren't this evil?? Every single day of my life I will say GAZA is where families were bombed and killed. It's one thing to ignore the horror of Trump because some have no eyes, and gave him his job,but I have eyes, ears and a mouth, a brain and a heart and I will keep Gaza name alive as long as I live.
Microsoft has engaged in widely-known dishonesty & greed since its earliest days. I really hope the employees will keep up their pressure to bring some manner of decency & honesty to a disgusting corporation that will side with whoever will aggrandize its scope & reputation. But its judgment is pathetically blind if the likes of one of the most egregious, amoral forces in the world today—the government of Israel—is client & hence partner.
If the western elites in government and corporate boardrooms think they can suppress and legitimize what is happening in Gaza or the West Bank by censorship, they will find themselves on the wrong side of history. Maybe not now or soon, but sometime in the future they will be punished for their complicity in one of the biggest crimes since WWII, either by a court of law or public opinion or both.
Truly disgusting. And Microsoft is so embedded with our own governments here in the U.S. that it becomes incredibly difficult to actually boycott them. I guess for now, naming and shaming is what we’ve got. Thanks for the great work, Drop Site!
Microsoft workers oppose ties with Israel. Microsoft claims that after conducting its internal investigation, with “external fact-finding,” they’ve found “no evidence to date that Microsoft’s Azure and AI technologies have been used to target or harm people in the conflict in Gaza.”
We do not accept that claim, and neither do the workers who issued a statement in response to the company’s PR.3

It just so happens i stopped buying from Amazon since Oct.,'23, on different reasons, but they have maintained SILENT through all of this... And they have some culpable deeds through this Genocide, too.
How about "Zionist entity" or "martyr" or "Free Speech" or "1st Amendment"?
Perhaps Microsoft wishes to be considered complicit in future Nuremberg trials on this genocide?
I would love to see that trial!

Pick up a Bible and censor THAT???
Who are the real terrorists here?
Liquidize PALESTINE? Outrageous
Good job, Dropsite. Thank you for the journalism in true public interest.
Thanks also to the folks at +972 and The Guardian.
Microsoft's executives: Craven, greedy cowards.
That is disgusting. We didn't sigh up to live in North Korea.
I dont get it. Microsoft is proud to support israel and its regime but dont want it to be public...

Surely participating in a genocide must be illegal?
Imagine what kind of world we would live in if we prosecuted criminals, even if they were rich.
Sounds pretty nice, no?
It’s erasure. That is how you erase the suffering of a people for 76 years, you criminalize their existence.
Truly disgusting. And Microsoft is so embedded with our own governments here in the U.S. that it becomes incredibly difficult to actually boycott them. I guess for now, naming and shaming is what we’ve got. Thanks for the great work, Drop Site!
This is so stupid. Did they think no one would notice or figure it out?
How many ways are there to say $tupld?

Microsoft and other tech partners, like Google and Amazon, are helping redefine the ugly underbelly of U.S. technology’s use in war.
We’ve set up a digital action where you can send emails to Microsoft leadership, including AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman, with just a few clicks.
And let’s tell Google to stop weaponizing AI, and to cut ties with Israel.

Is there a way in which we can email Microsoft and include some alternate terms that will upset them?
