I don’t really think Microsoft is at a fault though. If the US supports it, they are not taking a side as much as they are supporting the military

I’m beginning to think this Microsoft company might fucking suck.

It’s a hard sell to say they aren’t at least complicit, BUT realistically what could they do?

Oh I’m sure they would pull contracts. The government has contracts in probably every major cloud provider in the States and wouldn’t mind moving to any other.
Plus where do you draw the line if you’re a cloud provider? Can you support any military IT? Or just ones related to Israel? If you don’t provide cloud support to the US and to Israel, are you supporting Palestine? You basically just can’t win

I mean…they organized in the company headquarters witbout any kind of authorization to do so. Almost any company would have fired those responsible. I don’t think it has to do with political opinion so much as unauthorized use of facilities.
