Microsoft said it found that Israel was violating some terms of service for its products and that it does “not provide technology to facilitate mass surveillance of civilians.”

The review found evidence that Israel was using Microsoft’s cloud storage services to hold surveillance data on Palestinians, according to a company blog post. The data included records of millions of phone calls made daily between Palestinians, confirming reporting this year from The Guardian and the Israeli news site +972.

Since when does Microsoft gives a fuck about the right to privacy of its users?

    I have no idea what is going on, or the details, and am very suspicious this is not as much as a cut off as advertised, and will probably be reversed later, maybe in sneakier ways
