in reply to onrust 🍉 • • •A Palestinian-American ex-Googler, who has family in Gaza, gives testimony about how they were fired from Google for holding up a sign in support of Palestine outside the building.

in reply to onrust 🍉 • • •Another testimony from a fired ex-Googler: At Google we talk a lot about feedback. But feedback to Google itself isn't tolerated. Instead, Google is lying about what really happened, and retaliates against workers who speak out.

in reply to onrust 🍉 • • •An ex-Googler who joined the sit-in on 16 April at the NYC office: They were doxxed by a co-worker, and experienced harassment during the sit-in. Google security didn't intervene. The next day, they were fired.
They haven't been told which policies, if any, they are supposed to have violated.
They encourage others to keep speaking up -- especially in large numbers.

Project Nimbus is textbook evil.

in reply to onrust 🍉 • • •Google has been lying about the Project Nimbus contract over and over again. Nimbus falls directly under the 'israeli' military.
Google and Amazon are directly aiding and abetting the genocidal campaign in Gaza through this contract.
Instead of taking responsibility and terminating all collaboration with the occupation forces, Google punches down against workers who raise concerns.

…. and it’s Important we don’t forget this ⤵️ too:
“Amazon Is Investing in AI-Assisted Apartheid in Palestine”
by Ahmed Ibsais in The Jacobin @jacobinfeed
“Since 2014, Amazon has been pouring billions into Israel, contributing to illegal settlement programs and the relentless surveillance of Palestinians. Israel’s dystopian end goal: to compile biometric profiles and security ratings for every resident of the West Bank.”
[..]
“The company claims the benefactors of Amazon Web Services (AWS) will be ‘Israeli entrepreneurs and businesses.’ In reality, the primary winner will be the military. AWS will expand ‘Project Nimbus,’ which provides the cloud service ecosystem for Israel, primarily serving the country’s military. (Google also invests in Project Nimbus.)”
