Microsoft fires Joe Lopez for disrupting Genocide-profiteer Satya Nadella during Microsoft Build Keynote speech and bans words like “Palestine”, “Gaza” and “Genocide” in all company emails!!! Yet another chapter in a long tale of Microsoft’s intimidation, retaliation, repression, and censorship culture.

      The source is the No Azure For Apartheid post.

      You literally hear about them everytime a Microsoft employee disturb a event/ publicly protest Microsoft actions.

                I merely pointed to the fact that a single instagram is a pretty shitty source of information. I stand by that reason.

                Whatever got verified after the fact doesn’t invalidate wanting better information before falling for ragebait 🙂

                  You outright called it bullshit and got pissed when people were rightfully calling you out for ignoring mainstream news channels covering it.

                  “got verified after the fact” maybe you shouldn’t jump the gun and equate unverified info as “ragebait”.

                  Edit: You also seem to not understand that this came out of an established source of info that is usually accurate.

                With all due respect, no company in the world has to pick sides. They can choose a side or do nothing. If you don’t like what they are doing, you can boycott them.

                I don’t see anything wrong with Microsoft silencing Palestinian protesters after what they did in some public and some private events at the company.

                Defending what? You’re the one with a single source of nonsense. Get a better source and I might believe whatever this post is trying to project.

                    There is no source. That is the whole point. You believe some random account on Instagram. Forgive me for asking for better information.

                Says the one who believes single sources on the internet, as long as they fit their belief.

                You’re closer to being qanon than you think.
