Microsoft killed my online life after I called Gaza

Palestinians calling home to Gaza on Skype have had their digital lives destroyed, after Microsoft closed their email accounts without warning.

Microsoft says they violated its terms of service - but will not say how - and the decision is final.

Microsoft cutting crucial link to Gaza, Palestinians say

More than 20 Palestinians say they have been kicked off Skype, a popular tool for contacting relatives.

This is how racism against Palestinians is so normalized. Their family have their online and emails destroyed and it's just business as usual.

Imagine the uproar if families of Israelis in the US were banned for calling their relatives.

@tech4palestine thinking about hosting your email with Microsoft, think again. Well, at least if you host your mail server with a mail domain that you own, you can always move it to a new provider as you own the domain.
