Microsoft has stopped the Israeli army that partially used its programs

Microsoft suspended the Israeli army that partially used its programs after investigating news reports that the company’s products were involved in the monitoring of civilians. The largest software manufacturing business in the world experienced protests from employees and a media audit for fear of using its programs to harm civilians in the Gaza War. ‘Microsoft’ said it found evidence of a report published by the Guardian newspaper indicating the storage of collective monitoring data on the cloud “Microsoft” servers. Millions of calls in Palestine intercepted the newspaper and other news agencies that the Israeli army objected to millions of Palestinian phone calls, storing it on the “Microsoft” servers and using data to determine the targets of bombing in Gaza. Microsoft President Brad Smith said in a post on his blog on Thursday that the Israeli defense ministry was notified of “Microsoft’s decision to stop and disable specific subscriptions in Imod and his services, including the use of cloud and artificial storage services and technologies.” He added that the rules of the business prevent customers from using their products in collective monitoring of civilians. Microsoft employees and activists from the outside protested for their cooperation with the Israeli army for almost a year. In August, a number of protesters occupied and arrested Smith’s office. Smith wrote in his blog that an extensive overview of Microsoft’s work with Israel is underway. “It does not affect the important work that Microsoft continues to protect cyber security from Israel and other countries in the Middle East.”
