The world should wake up from tech dependence. Let the EU massively invest in FOSS.

Edit: as raised by comments, my title was not incorrect but did omit that it’s actually the US that imposed sanctions, to which MS chose to comply. Changed the title.

        Title deliberately omits the full truth of the situation and implies independent choice.

          Microsoft has a choice to not collaborate in genocide. Besides this Microsoft is actively providing the IDF with AI software for genocide purposes. So there is no doubt what their stance is. They gladly cut off the ICC.

          It IS an independent choice. They choose to comply with a genocidal administration.

          The superior order motive isn’t a defense since Eichmann remember?

        Your edit explains what I am saying.

        You admit the reason is because they were compelled by law but omit that from the title, it’s a deliberate editorializing of the situation.

        You know what would make your title the most accurate but you’re omitting it by choice.

          I think you’re right in what you’re saying except for my intentions. To be honest, I never make news posts on here, this is my first one. I came across this fact in Dutch news and hadn’t seen it on here, so I decided to share it. I am first to admit that maybe I should’ve paid more attention to the correct wording of the title. What would you deem proper. Something like “Microsoft blocks email-access for ICC prosecutor in accordance with US sanctions over Netanyahu arrest warrant”?
