    Absolutely.

    Here are some alternatives to Murdersoft’s most popular blood-soaked products:

    • Windows → Fedora KDE Plasma Linux
    • MS Office → LibreOffice
    • Github → Codeberg
    • VS Code → VS Codium
    • Bing → DuckDuckGo
    • LinkedIn → You don’t need a social network for wage slavery

    This isn't the first time that US tech companies have supplied the technology to enable genocide. IBM famously supplied the Nazis with the punchcard technology which allowed census data to be processed at scale in order to locate Jews and Romani.

    Microsoft Azure has enabled massive surveillance of an entire population, enabling war crimes and the killing of civilians.

    They'll probably face zero consequences.

    However, Unit 8200 sources said intelligence drawn from the enormous repositories of phone calls held in Azure had been used to research and identify bombing targets in Gaza.

    Microsoft is directly profitting off of the Genocide of Palestinians.

    Directly and KNOWINGLY profitting off of genocide.

    Truly listen to those words and let them sink in. This is evil and we must hold those like this man Satya Narayana Nadella accountable for witnessing a genocide of tens of thousands, likely hundreds of thousands, and participating enthusiastically.

    We will not forget.

    His answer was to begin “tracking everyone, all the time”, said an officer who worked for Sariel at the time. Instead of traditional surveillance of specific targets, Sariel’s project relied on mass surveillance of Palestinians in the West Bank and used novel AI methods to extract insights. “Suddenly the entire public was our enemy,” said another source who worked on the project, which sought to predict whether someone represented a threat to Israeli security. One system developed in this period, sources said, scanned all text messages between Palestinians in the West Bank and assigned each message a risk rating based on an automated analysis of whether it included words deemed to be suspicious. Still in use, the system – known as “noisy message” – can identify text messages in which people talk about weapons or discuss wanting to die.
