A joint investigation reveals Microsoft helped Israel’s Unit 8200 build the infrastructure for mass surveillance, airstrikes, and occupation — then made billions in profits from it all.
The one thing we've truly failed at is holding these corporations accountable. We're still using their products as they literally help fuel the genocide.
Thank you for this. I work in a huge global company that insists on using Microsoft and it makes me sick to my stomach. I'm such a small cog in the machine, I don't know how to persuade leaders that we must steer the ship away from such complicity. I hope to be self employed one day soon and will never use such a system in my own business (but is Google Drive even any better?) but it seems the CEOs of big business just don't care about human life over profit when they are the Microsoft consumers who could actually hit them where it hurts in terms of profit loss.
I feel like we are all trapped inside this big system where if we live in the modern world none of the products we use or buy are really safe from funding war crimes. I’d like to see someone make a list of alternative products and companies we can use, because the list of places to boycott and not use is so large, it’s hard to wrap our heads around it. We need a “safe list” so it’s easier to navigate the boycotting.
This breaks my heart. In my professional life, I knew people working at Microsoft and never for one minute believed they would participate in something so evil.
It's easy to give up your microsoft accounts- I cancelled mine a couple of months ago.
There are alternatives. I'm not sure I'll ever understand them-but at least Microsoft aren't getting money from me any longer. In the UK you can cancel your BBC TV licence too. It was easier than I thought-and you won't miss their content. Just use Al Jazeera news instead.

We need to continue the boycott
We must.
Just like IBM and the punchcards helping out Hitler. The world never learns the right lessons. Does it Shaun?

Well now we know what Microsoft wanted with Trump besides hiding his name on the Epstein List.

It’s deeply evil.
I always thought bill gates was a philanthropist who loved all people. I’m shocked!
