00:00If you don't like mixing tech with controversy, but still want to know what's shaking up Silicon
00:04Valley, then buckle up, because Microsoft's got a protest problem. In May 2025, software engineer
00:12Joe Lopez interrupted CEO Satya Nadella's keynote, accusing Microsoft of complicity in Gaza through
00:18its AI and cloud contracts with the Israeli military. He was fired, and he's not alone.
00:25Earlier, Nisreen Yaradot sent a mass email rallying co-workers against Microsoft's policies,
00:31even bypassing company restrictions to do it. And Vanya Agrawal? She disrupted multiple company
00:37events and was shown the door for protesting. Microsoft says yes, it provides AI and cloud
00:42services to Israel's military, but insists it found no evidence its tech harmed civilians in Gaza.
00:48Meanwhile, employees and activists want more transparency and ethics in global deals.
00:55So, where do you draw the line between company loyalty and speaking up for your values?
00:59Let me know what you think.
