Pro-Palestinian protests at Microsoft have intensified, with recent demonstrations leading to the arrest of 20 individuals at the company's headquarters in Redmond, Washington. Protesters set up blockades and refused to disperse, prompting law enforcement intervention.
Microsoft has responded by taking significant measures to contain employee activism, including contacting federal authorities, cooperating with local law enforcement, deleting internal content, and dismissing protest leaders. Despite these actions, workers' groups persist in organizing campaigns both inside and outside the company, using emails, loud demonstrations, and disruptions of corporate events.
