Microsoft cuts off some services used by Israeli military unit

Microsoft cuts off services to Israeli military unit for mass surveillance on civilians in Gaza, following an investigation by The Guardian. Brad Smith, Microsoft's president, stated that using their technology for mass surveillance violates their terms of service. The decision doesn't impact Microsoft's other collaborations with Israel, which have sparked internal protests within the company. The move comes after an investigation revealed the unit's use of Microsoft's cloud service, Azure, for extensive surveillance on Palestinians, prompting Microsoft to cease certain subscriptions and services with the Israeli Ministry of Defence.
