The Nimbus deal with Israeli army is something where Azure reportedly lost in the competition with GCP and AWS. Because they didn't appear to the contractual clauses demanded by Israel.
The Guardian reports how these providers even agreed to a secret "wink" to let the Israeli army know if a court order caused their data to be compromised. This was to be done via a specific payment amount that also would reveal which country's court had subpoenad the data.
This is Week 6 of my "Radboud against Microsoft" protest. I added a few links to mentions of the protest in the media. Thank you, everyone who joined the protest. #GazaGenocide, #Microsoft, #NoAzureForApartheid
Microsoft has blocked an Israeli military unit’s access to its technology after an investigation found it was being used to store mass surveillance data on Palestinians.
A very small positive step from a company still doing loads of evil shit.

A bit of good news, thanks to the journalists who investigated and reported on this, the Microsoft employees who lead the No Azure For Apartheid movement (and lost they're jobs for it), and all the other activists who protested against Microsoft's complicity!
No fucking way Microsoft would have canned a lucrative contract on it's own without pressure
