It's almost like solid journalism improves the world. It's still shit overall, but the coverage effected change.
So genocide is totally fine with microsoft, but the precious terms of service of data storage? Now that's consequential to them 😒🙄
Still good news for Palestinians overall
Apparently genocide is ok but mass surveillance isn't, so they'll continue to do business with Israel but just won't let one unit use it.
Microsoft must completely stop all service to everyone in Israel. Anything less is still supporting genocide.
Mass surveillance was definitely okay with them though, as long as they could hide behind flimsy plausible deniability; I remember one of the early 972mag pieces about this that called bullshit on their claim that they have no knowledge that they are supporting mass surveillance — if military/intelligence services come to you and say "hey, we need servers to store terabytes of audio files", then it's bloody obvious what the point
Too little too late.
