‘Can’t get rid of us’: Microsoft staff bypassed ‘Palestine block’ to send email

A Microsoft employee, Nisreen Jaradat, circumvented email restrictions to send a mass protest message about the company’s contracts with Israel. This action followed Microsoft’s implementation of blocks on emails containing terms related to Palestine. Jaradat’s email criticized Microsoft’s censorship and alleged discrimination against Palestinian voices, escalating tensions amidst ongoing protests during the Microsoft Build conference.
