Microsoft Workers Protest AI Military Contracts:

Microsoft’s Redmond campus saw protests over its AI ties to Israel. Employees and activists demanded an end to Azure services supporting Israeli military operations. The movement calls for ethical accountability in tech partnerships.

Things to Know:

  • Protest Ignites at Headquarters: Demonstrators set up tents and chanted at Microsoft’s Redmond campus, calling it a “liberated zone.” They urged executives to negotiate and address their concerns about Azure’s role in Gaza.

  • Employee Group Speaks Out: The “No Azure for Apartheid” group claims Microsoft’s cloud services aid Israeli military actions. They’ve pushed for over a year to end these contracts, citing ethical and humanitarian concerns.

  • Executives Disrupted Onstage: During Microsoft’s 50th anniversary event, two employees interrupted speeches to protest AI use in warfare. One shouted that Microsoft’s AI tools were complicit in civilian deaths in Gaza.

Microsoft fired two protestors, citing unauthorized disruptions. The company has not publicly addressed the specific allegations about Azure’s involvement with Israeli defense agencies. Microsoft’s silence has only fueled more questions.

Google Settles Landmark Kids' Privacy Lawsuit:

Google has agreed to pay $30 million to settle a class-action lawsuit over its data practices on YouTube for children. The proposed deal awaits court approval. Parents allege persistent violations of children’s privacy rights.

Things to Know:

  • Background Context: Parents of 34 children accuse Google of collecting personal data on YouTube without parental consent and using it for targeted ads. Mediation followed a judge dismissing claims against content providers.

  • Settlement Details: Google denies wrongdoing, yet agreed to pay $30 million. The preliminary deal, filed in San Jose federal court, requires a judge’s approval.

  • Scope of the Class: The class covers U.S. children under 13 who watched YouTube from July 1, 2013, to April 1, 2020. An estimated 35–45 million children may be eligible.

Up to 45 million people in the United States could be eligible for small payments. If 1%–2% of eligible claimants file, each may receive between $30 and $60 before costs. Lawyers plan to request up to $9 million in fees.
