> In a statement, Microsoft said “using Azure for the storage of data files of phone calls obtained through broad or mass surveillance of civilians in Gaza and the West Bank” would be prohibited by its terms of service.
Why would it be against their terms? Literally all the western nations’ governments (US, UK, others that share intelligence relationships with the US) all use cloud platforms for their work, which definitely includes surveillance of people. But it’s a problem when Israel does it? Microsoft and Amazon literally built private cloud platforms to serve sensitive government needs like this.
