Microsoft has used its security controls to block messages which contain the words Palestine and Gaza.

Let’s see if I get booted off LinkedIn for a third time.

A Microsoft employee has bypassed the filtering of the words Palestine, Gaza or genocide to email thousands of employees https://www.theverge.com/microsoft/673568/microsoft-palestine-email-block-defeated-employee

My take on this one, specifically limiting terms like Palestine by MS is lame.

The most depressing thing about the TikTok videos of Microsoft employees protesting about the company’s involvement in supporting genocide is their colleagues, sat around them, laugh and tut at the colleagues protesting.

@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social I never worked for MS but this was my general experience working in tech, too. World events would happen and the attitude was that it sucked, but was someone else’s problem and thus it’s not worth worrying about. I never worked with or for anyone who would directly participate in genocide (as far as I could tell at the time) either, mostly small businesses.
