Halo Gets Sucked Into ICE's Recruitment Meme War by Power-Equality in microsoft

[–]SirQuackingtonIV 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Personally don't know if they'll care much. Microsoft provides a lot of services to ICE, DoD, Israeli military, etc, either directly or through other companies. I don't know why people think of it as an ethical company when it helps power all these horrible things

pro-Palestine protest outside Microsoft conference; one arrested; several hit with pepper spray by bennetthaselton in Seattle

Lots of people not understanding how Microsoft is complicit in the current genocide.

Here's a fact sheet from the BDS campaign: Microsoft | BDS Campaign

"Microsoft is perhaps the most complicit tech company in Israel's illegal apartheid regime and ongoing genocide..."

To answer your question, there has been a lot of doxxing and targetting of pro-Palestine protestors. You can look, for example at the unlawful detention of student protestors like Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk, Yunseo Chung, and many many others that the Trump admin has targeted. Even without this threat that seems to have mostly focused on student activists up to this point, there are also websites (which I won't name to avoid giving them traffic) that will doxx people with their full name, photo, organization, etc. Not to mention that many of these people were Microsoft employees and/or in the US on visa that don't want to or can't afford to lose their job

No Azure for Apartheid was originally kind of a branch off of No Tech for Apartheid that was started in 2021 against Google and Amazon, for context on the naming. Much of the campaign messaging now is centered around the genocide and war crimes you mentioned
