Microsoft’s Redmond headquarters has become the point of intense employee protests, fueled by reports that the company's Azure cloud platform and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are being used by the ‘Israeli’ military for mass surveillance and AI-driven targeting of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.

The protests, led by a group called "No Azure for Apartheid," began with a Tuesday encampment of approximately 50 people who established what they called a "Martyred Palestinian Children's Plaza".

i suspect that i was on a blacklist for using an employment lawyer against my faang company in the past since i had to move to the other side of the country to get potential employers to even respond to my applications.

this was years before radio silence became a de facto standard like it is now.
