As crises multiply, technology companies continue to take advantage of them to reap record profits—they not only contribute the proliferation of crises, but also profit from them.
Last night, an autonomous group sabotaged Microsoft’s Montreal facilities located in the artificial intelligence cluster in the Marconi-Alexandra sector.
Let’s not kid ourselves. Microsoft is complicit in numerous crimes against humanity. From its collaboration with the Israeli government in the genocide of the Palestinian people to its impact on gentrification and the displacement of tenants in the Parc-Extension neighborhood, to its significant contribution to climate change in the frantic race for artificial intelligence, its active participation in the technological arms race of surveillance, and its numerous partnerships with police services, the American multinational represents the new enemy to be defeated.
The action also responds to the call from the Palestinian resistance to activate all levers of pressure and escalation in the international political, media, and economic spheres. Despite the company’s recent decision to partially restrict access to some of its services to the Israeli military, Microsoft—which must also pay for its past crimes—continues to maintain ties with the Zionist state.
