"Microsoft Worker Fired for Israel Protest: "Cloud & AI Are the Bombs & Bullets of the 21st Century" [9:14 min]
by Democracy Now!

Quote by DN:
"Apr 11, 2025
Microsoft fired two workers who protested the company's ties to Israel's assault on Gaza at its 50th anniversary celebration last Friday. The workers protested after leaked documents revealed that Microsoft supplies the Israeli military with AI and cloud technology, as well as an Air Force unit known as the Ofek, to build "kill lists." "We wanted everyone to know that Microsoft's cloud and AI are the bombs and bullets of the 21st century," says Vaniya Agrawal, No Azure for Apartheid organizer and a former Microsoft employee who was fired after disrupting an April 4 discussion between current and former Microsoft CEOs, including Bill Gates."

I’ve tried quite a few things to no avail, so I’m asking fedi. Any folks able to get me in touch with someone from #Azure? The web UI prevents me from creating any kind of support ticket whatsoever even after going through their new request form.

actionnetwork.orgTell Microsoft To Stop Partnering With Israel's GenocideBREAKING: Microsoft is a core partner in Israel’s AI-powered massacres of Palestinians. Leaked documents published on Jan. 23, 2025, expose the deep partnership between Israel’s military operations and Microsoft.  Take action: mpowerchange.org/microsoft We now know that Israel’s military used Microsoft’s cloud platform (Azure), a “suite of communications and messaging systems,” millions of dollars of engineering support, and more. Take action with us — and support the Microsoft workers organizing to cut ties with the IDF. Israel’s so-called “demands of the war” on Gaza called for outside tech support. To that end, Israel’s military operational capabilities were “upgraded” during the current war in Gaza thanks to the “wonderful world of cloud providers” that enabled “very significant operational effectiveness.” The sanitized language of “operational effectiveness” is a weak cover for Israel’s AI-powered war machine, unleashed on Gaza for 15 months. Israel’s AI program “has been a behind-the-scenes force accelerating the death toll in Gaza, which has claimed 45,000 lives….” Microsoft has lofty public-facing AI goals. These include AI for Humanitarian Action: “aimed at harnessing the power of AI to support disaster response and recovery, help ensure the safety and wellbeing of children around the world, protect refugees and displaced people, and promote respect for human rights.” The Jan. 23rd exposé shows that Microsoft has caused the opposite of their stated aims, and its actions of support for Israel accelerated an AI-powered genocide. Microsoft supported what the International Criminal Court sees as “plausible genocide. Microsoft should be held accountable.

Mit der Rückkehr von Donald #Trump ins Weiße Haus wird die Abhängigkeit von #US-#Cloud-Diensten zu einem wachsenden Problem.
Denn der
#CloudAct zwingt US-amerikanische Firmen Anweisungen von US-Behörden Folge zu leisten, ganz gleich wo deren #Server stehen.

Nicht nur Staaten und Unternehmen, sondern auch Privatpersonen sind betroffen.

Angefangen bei #Datenspeichern über #Online-#Office-Anwendungen bis zu grundlegenden Internetdiensten wie #DNS oder Zertifizierungsstellen.

Es betrifft selbst smarte Geräte wie #WLAN-Steckdosen, wenn deren zentralen Dienste auf einem #Hyperscaler wie #Amazon #AWS oder #Microsoft #Azure liegen.

Doch es gibt Möglichkeiten, den #Datenabfluss zu minimieren und #Alternativen zu nutzen.


Welche das sind, erläutert c’t Redakteur Peter Siering. Die Optionen reichen von #Suchmaschinen über europäische Cloud-Speicher und Open-Source-Projekte bis zu dezentralen, sichereren #Messengern.

Interesting in more than one way:

ITK (#Aarhus Municipality's department for Innovation, Technology and Creativity, together with Culture and Citizen Services in Aarhus Municipality, are moving their #cloud hosting from #Azure to Hetzner.
In addition to making the necessary move from the #US to #Europe, this will "reduce cloud costs by as much as 2/3."

Had a weird conversation with the #powerbi specialist at the company I’m contracted to.

She has a problem with the forcing of functionality in PowerBI to be only available in the #Azure controlled cloud held in the US. The cost and security were her main concerns. You can correct me if I misunderstood but in Australia it is starting to be noticed by companies and governments that they have security issues with all their #amazon cloud storage and the money going to US owned companies.

Oho, the city of Aarhus is ditching Azure and migrates their cloud platform to a EU provider. Good move 👌

(Obviously easier if you're already running your own services and not relying on Outlook and Teams.)

Slow password spray attack evaded detection by limiting login attempts per user and rotating IPs in Azure CLI. Tenant-wide log analysis revealed 24 accounts targeted in a stealth campaign. Highlights the need for broader detection strategies.
