Good but good fucking god 99% of the damage done already. Don't ever let them brag about this move.

Must be some monetary reason for that, because it sure af ain’t about ethics.

Sure bro, sure.

Must be moving them onto another instance where there's less scrutiny.

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.

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.

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.

“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”

This is only because Microsoft's employees have been relentless in their pressure on their bosses. They've been doing occupations of Microsoft buildings, office crashes, etc. They fire the employees who take part but then there are more employees who crop up in their place; there are just too many to fire them all. And Microsoft still provides a lot of support to Israel, so don't be fooled into thinking that things are over.

A little bit late, eh...

Hypocritical corporate virtue signaling at best

It's a start. Not enough, just a start.

sureeee. I am gonna press x.

After Guardian reveals secret spy project.

Put the emphasis on Guardian, reveals, or secret. It's all valid.

Guardian didn't reveal a secret here. This just finally got them enough bad PR that it started to effect the bottom line.

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...

Uh oh. Trump will not like that.

Someone is going to pick up this business.

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.

Imagine if it was also used on political leaders and parties. You either support palestine or we do not vote for you

I'm grateful for any good news that can help with the ongoing genocide:

The extraordinary decision by Microsoft to end the spy agency’s access to key technology was made amid pressure from employees and investors over its work for Israel’s military and the role its technology has played in the almost two-year offensive in Gaza.

Special thanks to the employees who put themselves at great financial risk (if not more than just financial). Protesting helps.

Special thanks to The Guardian for the investigation:

Within days of the Guardian publishing the investigation, Unit 8200 appears to have swiftly moved the surveillance data out of the country.

OK, Bezos Oligarch, the pressure is on you now:

According to sources familiar with the huge data transfer outside of the EU country, it occurred in early August. Intelligence sources said Unit 8200 planned to transfer the data to the Amazon Web Services cloud platform. Neither the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) nor Amazon responded to a request for comment.

Another interesting quote:

The project was so expansive that, according to sources from Unit 8200 – which is equivalent in its remit to the US National Security Agency – a mantra emerged internally that captured its scale and ambition: “A million calls an hour.”

Wow, Israel needed NSA-level resources for their genocide.

May Zionists get what they deserve.

I did not trust Microsoft in the 90s, and have seen how they lie about things. I particularly do not believe anything they say today without proof.

It will take many months to verify this

The decision has not affected Microsoft’s wider commercial relationship with the IDF, which is a longstanding client and will retain access to other services. The termination will raise questions within Israel about the policy of holding sensitive military data in a third-party cloud hosted overseas.

So y'all think this is a genocide of Palestinians and you need to take this seriously else you continue to be complicit in genocide... or not?

It is one or the other, there is no "just a little bit" here.

To late to make me stay with their platform, but pretty based move
