Funny how thousands of tech companies & projects posted banners everywhere about supporting Ukraine. Humble Bundle even did a big thing about it. When it comes to Palestine though, pretty much silence. I'm really grateful at least one popular project isn't silent:

We know what they're most afraid of based on the students they've arrested, and that is calls for boycotts, divestment & sanctions.

Wow what a misleading headline. Sounds like they're doing it on their public email services, hotmail or whatever it's called.

It's internal only. Bad enough of course

I didn't get that impression at all. I assumed it was internal.

Off to put it into archive.ph or whatever so I can read it.

Yeah, that's kinda fucked up. I'm happy to see people give up lucrative tech jobs to stand for humanity. I hope all of those people land at good jobs that don't materially support genocide.

It says "employee" in the headline. That solidly frames it as an internal company situation imo.

In the headline "employee protest" is just identifying the cause for "blocking emails", so employee is really only modifying the word "protest" and not what's being blocked.

The headline should call out it's only internal given Microsoft has an external email platform.
