That doesnrCOt seem to shut them up: more dissenting workers keep
standing up to make their voices heard.
Microsoft tried to play dumb about IsraelrCOs (mis)use of its services:
At the meeting, Smith, whose office was occupied by the
protesters, acknowledged concerns that IsraelrCOs Government may
have misused MicrosoftrCOs tools for surveillance of Palestinians.
Microsoft provided a copy of his remarks to the Post.
He said company leaders learned rCLinformation that we did not have
beforerCY when the Guardian reported in August that MicrosoftrCOs
Azure cloud service was used by the Israel Defence Forces to store
covertly recorded cellphone calls of Palestinians.
rCLWe do not allow our services to be used for rCa the mass
surveillance of civilian populations,rCY Smith said.
rCLWe will get to the bottom of this,rCY he added, citing the
companyrCOs hiring of a law firm to investigate, which was first
announced last month.
ThatrCOs what Israel does, too: promise to investigate some alleged
wrongoing (like the killing of Hind Rajab and her family), and then
quietly bury the whole thing.
