Microsoft fires Joe Lopez for disrupting Genocide-profiteer Satya Nadella during Microsoft Build Keynote speech and bans words like “Palestine”, “Gaza” and “Genocide” in all company emails!!! Yet another chapter in a long tale of Microsoft’s intimidation, retaliation, repression, and censorship culture.

        Defending what? You’re the one with a single source of nonsense. Get a better source and I might believe whatever this post is trying to project.

            There is no source. That is the whole point. You believe some random account on Instagram. Forgive me for asking for better information.

        With all due respect, no company in the world has to pick sides. They can choose a side or do nothing. If you don’t like what they are doing, you can boycott them.

        I don’t see anything wrong with Microsoft silencing Palestinian protesters after what they did in some public and some private events at the company.

          I hope you will never be victim of the consequences of your own shortsighted thought.

              I’ll rephrase: I hope reality will never knock at your door to prove you were wrong.

              Let me know if you still can’t grasp the concept.

                It won’t… Again, I can distinguish between company time and private time.

                Employment is an exchange of time from employee for resources from employer.

                Microsoft is not saying you can’t support Palestine. You can.

                That being said, Palestinian employees interrupted public and private Microsoft events. That caused monetary damage to Microsoft. Microsoft is saying that is no longer welcome during the company time using company resources. That is 100% within their right.

                  The fact that you think Microsoft is apolitical and “just about money” is cute.

                  You still don’t get it.

                  Where do you draw the line then?

                  Is it when, for example, supporting Palestine even in “private time” becomes a reason to fire you?

                  Is it when saying something Microsoft doesn’t want you to say becomes a punishable offense?

                  Tell me.

                    You mean like all of those who got cancelled for having private opinions? That already happened. Just not for things that you care about. There are plenty of examples of people who got fired for having “wrongthink” privately.

                    Stop pretending that you have some ethical high ground.

        Says the one who believes single sources on the internet, as long as they fit their belief.

        You’re closer to being qanon than you think.

        I merely pointed to the fact that a single instagram is a pretty shitty source of information. I stand by that reason.

        Whatever got verified after the fact doesn’t invalidate wanting better information before falling for ragebait 🙂

          You outright called it bullshit and got pissed when people were rightfully calling you out for ignoring mainstream news channels covering it.

          “got verified after the fact” maybe you shouldn’t jump the gun and equate unverified info as “ragebait”.

          Edit: You also seem to not understand that this came out of an established source of info that is usually accurate.

              This is your comment in reply to this “News” that you said was fake.

                And now you’re just making shit up 😄 you should probably read through things properly before assigning your own thoughts. Funnily enough, you didn’t fact check, which was my point to begin with.

                    Don’t you find it hilarious that you thought i made that comment when i didn’t? The irony is so thick, i could cut it.

                    Take it as a lesson to not assume things without thinking.
