      “According to Globes, a Microsoft investigative team began work last month over concerns that the Israeli subsidiary was exposing the company to legal liability in Europe. The Azure servers used by the Israeli government to store surveillance data were based in Europe, potentially putting Microsoft at risk from scrutiny by EU regulators.

      After investigating Haimovich and his team, Microsoft ousted the GM and other, unnamed senior staff at the subsidiary. While the company searches for a new GM, Microsoft Israel has been placed under the management of Microsoft France.”

      “The center of the controversy is the use of Azure Cloud storage by Israeli intelligence units in their surveillance of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.”

      The funny part is they’re definitely doing this in the US too but there isn’t silly things like “regulations” they have to worry about

      So, can other countries cancel contracts with US tech companies who collaborate with ICE or is this just selective outrage?

      Satya Nadella allegedly knew about it. This is Microsoft trying to cover themselves

      The Brussels regime doesn’t collect surveillance data about Europeans I’m sure.
