Oh they fucked up now. They've been cracking down on employees advocating for this kind of thing in a variety of disruptive ways and now they've shown the pressure works

they were fine with doing it until they got caught by a journalist.

Not even a month ago, I got into an argument with someone (who I promptly blocked) that came at me because I said MS was well aware of Israel’s abuse of their services. “There’s no way they can know that. They don’t have insight into customer tenants.” Oh, boy, do I have a lot to tell you…

Hell yeah

Damn, wasn't expecting that

I'm mad at Microsoft rn for completely separate reasons 🤣 way less important

Palantir is like, “Don’t trip, we got you.”

rare microsoft w

Should have done it months ago,but it is a good first step

Did he decide they already did enough damage?

Microsoft congratulations for realizing that it’s wrong to hit Gaza and kill all those innocent people!

Good news!!

That's not exactly what it's written in the article. Only some got canceled, it has to be all. Microsoft is still helping this genocide.

2 years too late.

Now block ICE.

@wvon2024.bsky.social

Good to hear but I will be waiting for the fine print to surface. Microsoft is not known for having ethical priorities taking precedence over money. Maybe it is customer pressure but then they are not known for listening to their customers either.

This may somewhat explain Trump's latest post

Palantir will step right up and replace them.

8,000 terabytes of data – … swiftly moved the surveillance data out of the country. Sus. How do you swiftly move 8 petabytes? Does Azure have one of those data moving trucks like AWS?

Continue to speak out against Israels War of Genocide and forced Famine on the Palestinian People. Government and corporations are feeling the Pressure to acknowledge The Genocide an famine

Hell yeah!

Yay

@theguardian.com broke the original story iirc

(Microsoft continues to probably do this on American civilians.)

Great! Can we get some of those self-regulating ethics flowing from surveillance companies domestically?

The UN finally called the genocide a genocide and Microsoft just heard about it

What does this mean for the workers disciplined in the process of securing this policy? Eg, www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Microsoft fires four workers for on-site protests over company's ties to IsraelMicrosoft said the terminations followed serious breaches of company policies.www.reuters.com

This is actually really interesting. In order to be a DoD compliant government contractor, (which Microsoft is) one of the terms of that agreement is an oddly specific clause preventing flat out boycott of Israel. Seems that doesn't include truncation of services though.

They won't surveil Palestinians but will surveil Americans? Interesting.

That will actually hinder them. That is a functional move.

hui, Chapeau 🙏 #Microsoft @microsoft.com

PUNCH THEM KICK THEM HURT THE CORPORATION

It's a start. But given the power the world has surrendered to companies like them, and Apple, Facebook, Google, Amazon... there is much more than can/should be done in the interest of peace and "doing no harm"...

@b0tster.yeag.gay the pressure/boycotts worked lol. Better late than never, even if it doesn't wash microsoft's sins away.

Really taking their time on this.

Thing is, Israel doesn’t use their services for security functions. Just Microsoft trying to appease

I guess I have to pay for a windows license

#Kodak #SouthAfrica

**makes the Sound of Doubt and Squints my Eyes**

Anyone believe this ?

good

good

Killing innocent people wasn't a violation of the terms, I guess.

A bit late, eh?

hell yeah MS!

A bit late, but still, welcome news.

Hey Bill!

Kind of late. Many are dead already. Gaza seems to be leveled now. Trump is eyeing it up to develop the land there. Glad this is done. But wish it was done much sooner. Am I wrong?

still too little too late unfortunately

Good. I'm still not resubscribing to gamepass though. Maybe rehire and compensate those they fired for daring to speak out.

Good

But the blood on their hands will be there forever.

Took them long enough. Don’t automatically assume this was a morally driven decision. I imagine their business with countries recently endorsing Palestinian statehood being at risk is the cause.

Oh interesting after the genocide is almost complete. We’ve been boycotting them for two years.

I have to assume they are lying because its fucking Microsoft, which is wholly incapable of engaging in deeds that are not pure evil.

Weird that it took this long ... I don't get how the Gates Foundation and go together.

Wow. Congrats to all the Microsoft employees who were protesting from the inside.

Good! Hope more join in and bar Israel from using their services in order to continue their oppression of Palestinians. (and many thanks to South Park for pointing out that being a Jewish American is not the same as being Israeli or supporting Israeli genocide in Gaza)

Now do this with ICE

One good thing today.

They are still a horrible company that contributed to the genocide greatly but this was an amazing decision

They've almost completed the genocide, this means nothing.

but also, la lucha sigue www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

How is it even possible for all of the calls to be wiretapped so thoroughly? This is nuts. I hate Microsoft.

Boycotts got Jimmy Kimmel his job back, and now this? Amazing

Well, about fucking time.

What… did Israel miss a payment?

Bill Gates must be worried about the impending ICJ case that is inevitably going to question his complicity in apartheid and Israel's egregious genocide of Palestinians. It's only taken him 725 days and 50 children each day being slaughtered to act against Israeli aggression. #IsraelGenocide

Feels very late in the game, but ok.

Yes

Are these workers getting their jobs back now that Microsoft has done a pivot?
