style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Microsoft
                      has quietly implemented a policy blocking employee
                      emails containing the words \u201cPalestine,\u201d \u201cGaza,\u201d
                      or \u201cgenocide\u201d on its internal Exchange servers,
                      according to No Azure for Apartheid, a group of
                      pro-Palestine Microsoft employees. The automated
                      filter, which silently prevents such emails from
                      reaching recipients was first detected on
                      Wednesday\u2014just after Microsoft\u2019s Build developer
                      conference faced repeated disruptions by the
                      activist group.</p>
                    <p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Microsoft
                      has been rocked by internal dissent over its
                      collaboration with the Israeli military and
                      government amid the ongoing assault on Gaza. The
                      company has faced disruptions to its events,
                      including protests from employees over its
                      provision of cloud services and other critical
                      infrastructure used by the Israeli military.</p>
                    <p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Now,
                      the company appears to be tightening its grip on
                      internal discourse. The terms \u201cIsrael\u201d and
                      \u201cP4lestine\u201d do not trigger a block, the group
                      said. Microsoft did not immediately respond to a
                      request for comment.</p>
                    <p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Last
                      week, Microsoft attempted to do damage control
                      over its alleged involvement in the genocide.
                      Ahead of the annual Build event, which is aimed at
                      developers and tech enthusiasts from all over the
                      world, the company issued a report claiming that
                      an internal investigation found that Microsoft\u2019s
                      operations did not cause harm to civilians in
                      Gaza.</p>

                      to internal documents and emails reviewed by Drop
                      Site, however, just days after the October 7, 2023
                      attack and the start of Israeli offensive in Gaza,
                      Microsoft started pitching to the Israeli
                      military, anticipating major military spending.
                      Over the next few months, Israeli military became
                      one of Microsoft\u2019s top 500 global customers.</p>
