Obviously a slanted article, the other reports of the two employees being fired was because they had a vigil honouring two people they worked with that were killed in Gaza. They followed all Microsoft's rules for the gathering and still got fired for it.

During a press conference on Wednesday, Smith said Microsoft has launched a formal investigation into Israel's reported use of Azure. "We are committed to ensuring that our human rights principles and our contractual terms of service are upheld in the Middle East," he said.

Yeahhh not surprised with that one tbh
I mean, you can do something illegal and still be a hero.
This man's name is Brad Smith, he is directly complicit in profiting off of the Genocide Of Palestinians.
Brad Smith is a mass murderer but more pathetic than the typical one because he just wants to profit off the genocide without having to witness the actual violence of it firsthand.
I propose a toast to Brad Smith living a long and painful end of life with a debilitating disease that destroys his quality of life or some other form of small justice befalling him!
I raise my glass

BULLSHIT
If we continue to let men like this rule society with no meaningful consequences for them we will be utterly subsumed into violence, it is only a matter of time.
