Why?

To show some backbone. Microsoft was involved in enough abominable things in the last years alone; any one of them is reason enough to boycott them for it.

    I must have missed those abominable things...? You don't mean the ICE stuff?

    I wouldn't say those are "abominable" either. AI is fine. Microsoft actually cut off Israel's access to Azure...

    They're operating infrastructure. They aren't going to morally vet every single customer. Imagine how many dubious things run on AWS that we never hear about!

    Microsoft actually cut off Israel’s access to Azure…

    After months of pressure and trying to silence internal criticism.

    I had to look it up to make sure "months of" is correct. Wikipedia has the infos https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Microsoft#Israeli_military_support 2023-2025, various employees fired

    “Microsoft actually cut off Israel’s access to Azure” doesn't really cover or adequately represent their behavior regarding this topic.
