in reply to Mitex Leo • • •It's always difficult to know what precisely they were doing. Protesting the cloud contract is one thing. But for so many people it seems difficult to protest Israel's politics without being antisemitic, it may well be that that's what they're fired for.
I wish I could be sure.
Nonetheless, Google's cloud contract still kills people.
