Microsoft employees have realised that emails sent within or from the company account that contain words like 바카라Gaza바카라 and 바카라Palestine바카라 have been blocked after a series of proteststors interrupted the company바카라s flagship Build event on Tuesday. The disruption occurred when Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella took the stage at the event where chants like 바카라Free Palestine바카라 and calls for accountability from the company for its work with the Israeli government were made. 

The email restrictions were brought to light by the protest group 바카라No Azure for Apartheid.바카라 Microsoft had confirmed to The Verge that it had altered the email ecosystem within the company in some way that reduces the 바카라politically focused emails.바카라 

The protest group has called the development as another step in Microsoft바카라s bid to censure and intimidate. 

Following the disruption at the Build event, one of the protestors named Joe Lopez was fired from the company. He had yelled during Nadella's keynote speech stating, 바카라How about you show Israeli war crimes are powered by Azure?,바카라 as reported by The Verge. Lopez had sent an email stating that his actions were driven by the company바카라s silence over previous protests pertaining to the company바카라s ties with the Israeli government. 

The protests have been triggered after Microsoft acknowledged its cloud and AI contracts with Israel. In addition to the acknowledgement, the company claimed that upon probing, it found no evidence that its software was being used to 바카라target or harm people in Gaza.바카라 Microsoft experienced similar protests during its 50th anniversary event last month.
