@garidin @nomdeb I suggest boycotting #Bosch over its support for #Anyvision¹ (a corp that helps Israel oppress the Palestinians). ① http://web.archive.org/web/20230428073241/https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2019/08/01/microsoft-slammed-for-investing-in-israeli-facial-recognition-spying-on-palestinians/?sh=29279a6c6cec #boycottBosch

Un test del software di riconoscimento facciale #AnyVision in una scuola di Santa Fe è stato in grado di catturare la faccia di uno studente 1000 volte in una sola settimana.

@Mr_Teatime If you don't consider Microsoft evil, then I should show you the list of dirt I have on them. But what stands out ATM is MS's partnership with Chevron and Exxon-Mobil, as well as the fact that MS supported #AnyVision in helping Israel develop facial recognition to use as a weapon against the Palestinians they oppress. So human rights issues are in play with MS.

"As a sign of the imminent arrival of biometric identification from the air, an Israeli startup [#Anyvision], one previously-funded by Microsoft, has patented technologies for drone-based facial recognition." https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2021/02/15/drones-with-facial-recognition-are-primed-to-fly-but-the-world-isnt-ready-yet/ @technopolice_fr@twitter.com

@chris @NeoTheThird I hope, when you say "#microsoft is not evil", you are talking exclusively in the context of buying npm. MS: financed #CloakRoom, renewed #Github contract w/ #ICE, pays hundreds of millions to #Facebook, financed #AnyVision, spent $200k to lobby against CA's CCPA #privacy bill, etc..

#Gitlab supports #Google.
#Github is #Microsoft.

Both treat #Tor users with hostility. MS finances #Anyvision's #facialrecognition (used to oppress of #Palestinian ppl) & Google was caught using #darkmoney to finance #climateDenial.

If you have any respect for #humanRights at all, you won't use Gitlab or Github.

Indeed, but the free world also has an advantage: #Microsoft is embroiled in copious wrongdoing. Students of #EU schools & their parents can protest public use of MS products on the basis of #GDPR violations. And students anywhere in the world should refuse to support a company that helps Israel oppress #Palestinians (MS finances #AnyVision).

@lesbianhacker

Microsoft wants to safeguard “democratic freedoms,” why did it fund an Israeli facial recognition firm (AnyVision) involved in secret military surveillance of Palestinians?
