Subscribe to support more independent, anarchist journalism like this - few outlets are willing to report on this protest, and even fewer are willing to call out what Israel is doing to Gaza as a blatant genocide.

Liberation for all, or liberation for none.

Vikram Subramanian, No Tech for Apartheid organizer and former Google employee, was another speaker who spoke out against these companies. His speech was reported on by Free Radical yesterday here: bsky.app/profile/thef...

Others were part of a broad, BDS-led protest at the summit. AI researcher Adeba Birhane was a speaker at the event, and directly called out Israel's genocide. She was, however, censored for this, as discussed in her thread here - bsky.app/profile/abeb...

Fortunately crimew and Freya were both released within hours. “We are out, safe and alive,” crimew wrote on BlueSky hours later. Both activists were also promoting a larger protest outside the summit led by pro-Palestinian action group BDS, at which they also spoke, as revealed in Fae’s thread.

A recording of this protest can be seen posted by independent journalist Ryan Fae here - bsky.app/profile/ryan...
BREAKING: as Thomas Gürber, Swiss Deputy State Secretary of Foreign Affairs, spoke, two actionists — one of whom is my colleague @crimew.gay — walked on stage with a sign that said "no tech for genocide."

they chanted: "no tech for genocide / you are all complicit" and "free, free Palestine."

An independent survey found that at least over 80,000 Gazans have been murdered, with many more injured. These estimates do not account for the hundreds of thousands of displaced refugees, deaths this year and Gazans subject to starvation and disease owing to Israel’s blockade on aid.

Companies named as complicit include Microsoft, Amazon, Palantir, and Google. These companies have been called out repeatedly for helping the IDF develop technologies used to directly assault Palestinians.

“We will not be silent in a genocide. You cannot be neutral in a genocide.”

“While the US and Europe provide the financial backing, Big Tech infrastructure actively enables the surveillance, the targeting and strategic erasure of the Palestinian people. This would not be possible without their assistance,” Freya says in the video.

"These companies sold these technologies to the most abhorrent military in the world without our consent" - Subramanian flew out from the United Kingdom to attend this event, opposing the blatant genocide enabled by his former employer.

(I think both the protest and the platform were appropriate. There is no argument that AI isn’t playing a part in the current genocidal conflict being enacted by the nation of Israel in the Gaza war. Hopefully some people who have not thought about their role in enabling this will do so.)
