Kassi Posted May 1 Posted May 1 The police exercising restraint so far and avoiding a massive Kent State-style repression is such a relief. I hope they all get resolved quickly like Northwestern.

Unfortunately protecting these lunatics under all costs is a bipartisan agreement.

Why feel so comfortable lying? People have eyes. They can literally read. "Ordering 1,000 licenses is also a government contract" But that is not this: Quote Microsoft also provides programming courses and hackathons for the Israeli military, explicitly to aid Israel's military in the development of new military technology. Quote In 2021 Amazon and Google split a 1.2 billion contract with the Israeli government to develop the Nimbus Project. The project will provide cloud infrastructure to all branches and units of the Israeli government including Israeli military, police, prison services, and land authority. As a part of the contract Google and Amazon are forbidden from denying service to specific government entities, which includes those actively violating the rights of Palestinians. Big tech companies are being commissioned by the Israel terrorist regime to literally CREATE technology for them and you're here comparing it to a purchasable email software or freely available product tools: Quote Unlike Google Photos, a free consumer product available to anyone, Project Nimbus is a bespoke software project tailored to the needs of the Israeli state.

This is known as an implementation project. It's "bespoke" because enterprise/government level projects are too big and complicated to work "out of the box". Nimbus means cloud, Israel is literally moving their apps/operations to the cloud. Like how 2/3rds of the internet is already on AWS, Azure, or Cloud. Also anyone can build on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform, take a Microsoft Learning courses, or join a Microsoft Hackathon. Microsoft Azure Cloud: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/free/students Microsoft Training Courses: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/ Microsoft Hackathon: https://startups.microsoft.com/blog/microsoft-generative-ai-hackathon/ You're trying so hard to differentiate these services, but they're all in the same bucket. In addition to buying an orange (Microsoft Office), Israel is also buying a pear (Microsoft Azure), and some grapes (Microsoft Learn) from the Microsoft supermarket. It all feeds into the company's revenue the same. 2

You're literally trying to downplay and explain away the issue yet openly admit to it. The implementation of Google's facial recognition technology into Israel's customized prison systems and police software cannot be done on its own by Israel. Israel does not have the capabilities and thus are buying these specific developer services from Google to build them their own custom software. "That's just buying a service!!!" Google's own employees are boycotting Google taking on such special projects given then what these new specially-built programs are used for - apartheid and genocide. Acting like there's no meaningful difference in a tech company doing custom a software implementation for an entity who like... sells and ships socks vs one whose technology is used to racially profile and mass arrest Palestinians. "There's no ethnical consumption under capitalism" doesn't mean what you seem to think it does. You're not some reasonable person. You're not speaking some reasonable air into the room. You're a genocide denier. You're a Zionist. Edited May 2 by Communion 1 1

Israel purchased Cloud, which only Google knows how to implement because it's their service. Part of that Cloud service includes facial recognition software — you can even try it here for free: https://cloud.google.com/vision/docs/detecting-faces No enterprise level software implementation project comes with like an iKEA manual. You need trained developers, domain experts, and analysts to fix bugs and solve problems for the duration of the project and even up through maintenance (since using Cloud is basically renting computing power). These protestors are not reasonable people. They're not speaking some reasonable solution into the discourse. They're confused on priorities. 1 1

Which is why anyone who isn't a Zionist - from student protestors to Google developers - are protesting Google's decision to contract with Israel. You do not know more than the people shouldered with the task of building Israel these systems. You can go a day without excusing genocides you support due to belief in religious prophecies. You are a Zionist. You support death. 1 1

How? By breaking and entering into a university? The divestment campaign is playing second fiddle to calls for global intifada and the destruction of Israel. Even now, as we post on a site supported by Google Ads, the students are no closer to… *checks notes*… shutting down Google. In fact, besides us, no one even knows which companies are being targeted or for what. The whole thing is aimless. No one is going to make universities stop investing in the S&P 500. Students cycle through every 2-6 years, so these organizations aren't going to give up their long term investment strategy or divest from half of the US economy to appease the confused mob. A peace rally is the only way. 1 2
