Today it's Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. Tomorrow it's you.

In the context of surveillance or in the context of a genocide ?!

I must assume you mean the first one, because Israel would not survive without the US

What's the fiduciary duty here for Microsoft C-suite when it is supplying infrastructure and services that assist in underpinning war crimes, ethnic cleansing and genocide?

There are a number of big name tech companies associated with similar through their collaborations with the Nazi's, IBM etc. Did that have any effect on those companies that might inform what could happen to Microsoft and others?

For some people "you" is not the US. So both could apply.

I think the consequence was mostly that IBM made a lot of money.

North Korea survives just fine without the US. Nukes are enough.
