Microsoft Protests Lead to 18 Arrests | JQJO

Eighteen people were arrested at Microsoft headquarters during protests against the company's ties with the Israeli military. Two days of demonstrations, led by Microsoft employees, urged the company to cut its business relationships with Israel due to concerns over the use of its technology in the Gaza conflict. Wednesday's protest involved property damage and resulted in arrests for trespassing and other charges. Microsoft has promised a review into allegations of its technology's misuse, following previous reports highlighting the Israeli military's use of Azure for surveillance purposes.
