- lesuorac 4mo agoI mean if you phrase it like that. However, the articles phrasing is employee used work resources to notify colleges that their work may causing legal risk for the business. Which uh seems pretty fine? But also, the laws of a country Trump whatever policies your company has.

They dropped it: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy081nqx2zjo https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy081nqx2zjo It was Google who claimed to be something and ultimately rug pulled a very important promise.

Microsoft fired it's head of Israel division for helping Israel conduct mass survilence: https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/microsoft-fires-head-of-israeli-subsidiary-and-other-managers-over-surveillance-of-palestinians/ https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/microsoft-fires-head... Firing someone for trying to stop the company from engaging in violations of international law (not to mention basic human values), is increasingly looking untenable.

- deodorel 4mo agoI would say that google created this situation by you know being complicit to war crimes
- spwa4 4mo agoI don't actually think so. Look at the company. Their beef is not any particular conflict. Their mission: "We stand up to tech giants and governments and for a future where technology is used to benefit everyone, not just the rich and powerful." They have an issue with Google (and Facebook, and a lot of governments, and ...) existing. Not any particular thing they do. More like everything they do. No particular conflict (not that I am somehow unaware that you mean the "conflict" that Palestinians want Israel destroyed and war crimes is a soundbite for you. That you very likely just don't care one tiny bit about China, Russian and indeed middle eastern warcrimes, from Syria to Sudan, from Lebanon to Yemen. Of course, the bad but truthful thing to say is that no-one cares about warcrimes anymore. UN never did much, but last 10 years they're down to doing literally nothing. China, obviously, doesn't want anything done about warcrimes. Russia, obviously doesn't either. And nobody wants to risk anything at all, not money, not soldiers, not doctors, not ... to fix anything)
