Microsoft aids Israel: Under fire for storing Palestinians' calls and texts on Azure
ALBAWABA - According to a joint investigation by several outlets, Microsoft sparked backlash from pro-Palestine activists after reportedly partnering with the Israeli military to store millions of Palestinians' calls and texts via Azure. The Guardian, +972 Magazine, and Local Call revealed that Microsoft collaborated with Israel's military intelligence Unit 8200 in a surveillance program and used the Azure cloud service to store the information inside its data centers in Europe. Reports also revealed that Israel asked for Microsoft's assistance after reportedly running out of space on their cloud service. The investigation's exposé raised concerns among pro-Palestine activists due to its violation of human rights and privacy. Additionally, the investigation revealed that in 2021, Yossi Sariel, the head of Unit 8200, and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella met to discuss the deal, and the project went live in 2022. This means that Azure has been reportedly storing the data of Palestinians for three years. According to The Guardian, Microsoft viewed the deal as a "lucrative commercial opportunity" and "an incredibly powerful brand [Azure] moment" due to the anticipation of hundreds of millions in revenue. Unit 8200 sources revealed that the cloud service helped in the preparation of several military operations in Gaza and the West Bank. Pro-Palestine activists took to several social media platforms to urge individuals to boycott Microsoft and its services. The boycott hopes to put pressure on the American tech giant to stop its partnership with the Israeli military. Several social media users took to X (formerly known as Twitter) and voiced their opinions: One user wrote, "Microsoft should be sued for aiding and abetting genocide." "Another added, "Microsoft must immediately stop providing surveillance tools that enable war crimes against Palestinians. If they won't it's time to reconsider contracts with them."

Microsoft helping 'Israel' with surveillance to attack Palestinians: report
A joint investigation by The Guardian, +972 Magazine, and Local Call has uncovered that 'Israel's' elite military intelligence Unit 8200 is utilizing Microsoft's Azure cloud platform for an extensive surveillance program, storing millions of Palestinian phone calls. This cloud-based system, operational since 2022, has significantly expanded 'Israel's' intelligence capabilities, raising serious human rights concerns . Unit 8200 reportedly sought Microsoft's assistance due to insufficient storage and computing power on its own servers, aiming to process "a million calls an hour". By July 2025, an estimated 11,500 terabytes of 'Israeli' military data, equivalent to approximately 200 million hours of audio, are projected to be housed on Microsoft's servers, primarily in the Netherlands. This marks a shift from monitoring "tens of thousands of suspects" to "millions of Palestinians" . Intelligence sources allege this data has been used to identify bombing targets in Gaza and for coercive purposes, including blackmail and justifying arrests in the West Bank. The collaboration, initiated after a late 2021 meeting between Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and then-Unit 8200 Commander Sariel, was viewed internally by Microsoft leadership as a "lucrative business opportunity". Despite Microsoft's public statements of finding "no evidence" its technology was used to harm Palestinians or aid civilian surveillance, leaked documents suggest Microsoft engineers were aware the data would include raw intelligence and audio files. The revelations have intensified protests from Microsoft employees, who have formed campaigns like "No Azure for Apartheid," demanding an end to the company's contracts with the 'Israeli' military.

OpenAI Set to Sell Employee Shares at Massive $500 Billion Valuation - Jordan News
OpenAI Set to Sell Employee Shares at Massive $500 Billion Valuation OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, is seeking a staggering $500 billion valuation through a potential sale of employee shares, according to a source familiar with the matter. اضافة اعلان This valuation would mark a significant leap from the company's current $300 billion figure and reflects OpenAI's rapid growth in user base and revenue, as well as the intensifying competition among AI companies to attract top-tier talent. The source, who requested anonymity due to the private nature of the discussions, said the deal — likely to precede an initial public offering (IPO) — would allow current and former employees to sell shares worth several billion dollars. Soaring Revenue and User Growth Driven by its flagship product, ChatGPT, OpenAI has doubled its revenue in the first seven months of this year. The company is now operating at an annual run rate of $12 billion, with expectations to reach $20 billion by year-end, the source added. Backed by Microsoft (traded under ticker MSFT.O), OpenAI's user base has surged to around 700 million weekly active users, up from 400 million in February for its ChatGPT products. Follow-Up to Major Funding Round The share-sale discussions come in the wake of a major funding round announced earlier this year, during which OpenAI aimed to raise $40 billion, led by Japan's SoftBank Group (9984.T). According to the source, the rest of the funding was covered at a $300 billion valuation, while SoftBank has until the end of the year to contribute its $22.5 billion portion of the round. AI Talent War Intensifies Major tech firms are fiercely competing to attract top AI talent with lucrative compensation packages. For instance, Meta Platforms (META.O) is investing billions in Scale AI, reportedly in an attempt to recruit its 28-year-old CEO Alexandr Wang to lead Meta's new superintelligence unit. Unlisted companies such as ByteDance, Databricks, and Ramp have also utilized internal share sales to update their market valuations and reward employees with long-term incentives. Investor Interest and Corporate Restructuring Current OpenAI investors — including Thrive Capital — are reportedly in talks to participate in the employee share sale. Thrive Capital declined to comment. Bloomberg was the first to report the potential sale. OpenAI is also undertaking a major restructuring of its corporate framework, aiming to shift away from its current "capped-profit" model and pave the way for a potential future IPO. — Reuters
