It's a direct line. First, Microsoft's Azure enabled the mass surveillance of a civilian population living in apartheid conditions on the West bank. Then, that same technology was deployed in Gaza to support airstrikes into "densely populated" civillian areas.

But the initial focus of the system was the West Bank, where an estimated 3 million Palestinians live under Israeli military occupation. Unit 8200 sources said the information stored in Azure amounted to a rich repository of intelligence about its population that some in the unit claimed had been used to blackmail people, place them in detention, or even justify their killing after the fact. “When they need to arrest someone and there isn’t a good enough reason to do so, that’s where they find the excuse,” one said, referring to the information stored in the cloud. However, Unit 8200 sources said intelligence drawn from the enormous repositories of phone calls held in Azure had been used to research and identify bombing targets in Gaza. One of the sources said that when planning an airstrike on an individual located within densely populated areas where high numbers of civilians are present, officers would use the cloud-based system to examine calls made by people in the immediate vicinity. The sources also said use of the system had increased during the campaign in Gaza, which has killed more than 60,000 people in the territory, the majority of whom are civilians, including over 18,000 children.

The aim is to curtail revenue. For the duration of the boycott, simply do not give them more money. Feel free to play out your subscription. And for those with platforms, don't give exposure to means for them to further profit from boycotted products.

BDS has specific targets and instructions for a reason. I personally do not have control over Azure contracts.

ON MARCH 30TH, A FENCER NAMED STEPHANIE TURNER FORFEITED A BOUT BECAUSE HER OPPONENT WAS TRANS. HER REFUSAL TO COMPETE DISQUALIFIED HER FROM THE COMPETITION. HERE'S THE THING, THOUGH: FENCING IS TYPICALLY A COED SPORT AT NON-ELITE LEVEL. TURNER HERSELF WAS COMPETING AGAINST CIS MEN (AND WON) A WEEK EARLIER. TURNER'S ACTIONS PROVE THAT NOTHING ABOUT THE "TRANS ATHLETES" MORAL PANIC IS ABOUT FAIRNESS. AFTER SHE MADE INTERNATIONAL HEADLINES, A CONSERVATIVE GROUP GAVE HER A $5000 "COURAGE" AWARD FOR HER UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT. HER TRANS OPPONENT WENT ON TO PLACE 24TH AT THE COMPETITION.
