JUST IN: Google has fired 28 employees who participated in a 10-hour pro-Palestine protest at their New York and Sunnyvale, California offices. The protesters demanded Google pull out of their $1.2 billion cloud contract with Israel. They failed miserably. “This evening, Google indiscriminately fired 28 workers, including those among... show more

They got fired for not doing their jobs and disrupting their workplace, which would get you fired from any job. Good for Google!

Given Google’s corporate ideology, it’s like watching them eat their own. Get the popcorn ready.

It’s pretty entertaining. Google is all about ‘love, tolerance and justice’ until it hits their wallet.

These Google employees were supporting Palestinians who had massącred 1,200 innocent Israelis on 10/7. No one should ever hire these Google employees again. They have no morals and no work ethic.

Intel, Google, Microsoft, Cisco, PayPal, Adobe, Meta, Apple, Pinterest… Tech workers in Silicon Valley are calling out the double standards of their former employers, who claim to defend human rights, except when it comes to Palestine. In an unprecedented crackdown on free speech, some have been sanctioned or fired simply for challenging tech executives. Others chose to resign, saying that US tech companies enable Israel to carry out war crimes in Gaza and across the Middle East. But they tell TRT World that Palestine is revolutionising the tech industry, and that employees are now willing to launch a workers’ intifada to challenge corporate greed

Google just acquired an Israeli Trojan horse to STEAL clients from AWS and Microsoft. $32 billion. All cash. For a cybersecurity startup called Wiz. It’s the largest acquisition in Google’s history. But nobody’s talking about what they ACTUALLY bought... Here’s why this is way bigger than you think: Wiz protects over half the Fortune 100. Their clients run on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle. The platform scans every workload, every vulnerability, every misconfiguration across ALL of those clouds. Meaning Wiz has a god-level view of how the world's biggest companies use their competitors' infrastructure. And Google just bought that view for $32 billion. Now think about what Google Cloud's biggest problem has been for YEARS... They're stuck in third place. 13% market share. AWS has 30%. Azure has 20%. Google has been hemorrhaging money trying to close that gap and nothing has worked. Wiz changes that equation overnight. Because Wiz doesn't just protect cloud environments. It MAPS them. It knows which companies are running what workloads, where their vulnerabilities are, and where they're overpaying. Google now has a real-time blueprint of its competitors' biggest customers. And it gets crazier: The 4 founders of Wiz previously built Adallom, a cloud security startup that Microsoft acquired for $320 million in 2015. After that acquisition, those same founders ran Microsoft's entire Azure Cloud Security Group. They literally built the security infrastructure that Azure runs on today. Then they left. Started Wiz. Built a product that works across every cloud. Got 45% of the Fortune 100 as customers. Most of those customers are on AWS and Azure. And now they just handed ALL of that to Google. Google promised Wiz will remain "multi-cloud" and continue working with AWS, Azure, and Oracle. That's the public story. But here's the game theory every enterprise CTO is thinking about right now: If you're running sensitive workloads on AWS or Azure and your security layer is now owned by your competitor, how comfortable are you? Google doesn't need to do anything shady. The PERCEPTION alone is enough to start shifting enterprise decisions. And that's worth way more than $32 billion. But there's another layer... Wiz went from $0 to $100 million in revenue in 18 months. Fastest software company in history to hit that mark. By 2025, they were at $750 million. The founders said no to Google's first offer of $23 billion in 2024 because they wanted to IPO. 9 months later, they said yes to $32 billion. What changed? The IPO market collapsed. Tech IPOs dried up. Valuations got slashed. Wiz's leadership looked at the math and realized $32 billion in guaranteed cash beats an uncertain public offering in a hostile market. Google paid a 39% premium over the rejected offer. A multiple of 45-65x revenue. For a company founded 5 years ago by 4 guys who met in Israeli military intelligence. This is the BIGGEST tech acquisition of an Israeli-founded company ever. Bigger than Intel buying Mobileye for $15.3 billion. Bigger than anything in Israeli tech history. And Google is betting it will be worth every penny. Because the cloud war isn't about compute anymore. It's about TRUST. And the company that controls the security layer controls where enterprises put their most sensitive data. Google just bought the keys to every major cloud customer on the planet. The question is whether AWS and Microsoft let them keep using those keys. What do you think?

⚡️ BREAKING: Microsoft employees and other demonstrators with the No Azure for Apartheid movement are currently occupying the office of company president Brad Smith. Workers say they have re-established a “Liberated Zone” inside Microsoft’s executive Building 34, renaming it the Mai Ubeid Building in honor of a Palestinian software engineer killed in an Israeli airstrike. Bloomberg reported earlier today that Microsoft has spent the past year trying to crush employee dissent over its ties to Israel’s war on Gaza — including enlisting the FBI, working with police, and censoring internal posts mentioning “Gaza.” The company has suspended and fired workers who spoke out, while employees have continued to stage disruptions, from mass emails to sit-ins and viral protests. The employee-led movement is protesting Microsoft profiting from and enabling Israel’s atrocities in Palestine through its Azure cloud and AI tools. Despite repression, workers say they won’t stop until Microsoft cuts its ties to Israel’s military. According to the organizers’ statement, today’s action included deploying noisemakers into the atrium, unfurling banners, and delivering a “People’s Court Summons” to Brad Smith. Their demands include: cutting ties with Israel, calling for an end to genocide and forced starvation, reparations for Palestinians, and ending workplace discrimination. Video shows the demonstrators in the Microsoft C-suite reading their statement. Shared on Twitch (link in reply).

When innocent Indians were killed in Pahalgam in a cowardly terror attack sponsored by Pakistan, the DMK and its alliance partners did not take to the streets to condemn the perpetrators and their sponsors. Yet yesterday, a protest unfolded in Chennai under full police protection, a privilege rarely extended to teachers, nurses, sanitation and anganwadi workers, government employees, or common people, who are routinely detained the moment they raise their voices in protest. For DMK, appeasement is always at the top of their priority list!

Google just completely BETRAYED its principles and people. In 2018, 4,000 Google employees signed a letter demanding the company to stop helping the Pentagon use AI for drone strikes. Google listened. They dropped the contract and published a pledge promising they would NEVER use AI for weapons or surveillance. But Google just signed a $200 million deal to put its most powerful AI on the Pentagon's classified networks for "any lawful purpose." And the story behind how they got from Point A to Point B is one of the most calculated corporate betrayals in Silicon Valley history. Here's what happened: The 2018 protest was over Project Maven, a Pentagon program that used Google's AI to identify targets in drone footage. Employees said "Google should not be in the business of war." A dozen engineers quit. Thousands more signed petitions. Google folded and let the contract expire. Then they published their famous AI Principles: 1. No weapons 2. No surveillance 3. No technologies that cause harm Sundar Pichai personally announced them. That pledge lasted exactly as long as the contracts didn't matter. Because here's what Google did quietly over the next 7 years while everyone thought they were the "ethical" AI company: December 2022: Won a share of the Pentagon's $9 billion Joint Warfighting Cloud contract alongside Amazon, Microsoft, and Oracle. 2024: Deployed Gemini to 3 million Pentagon personnel. February 2025: Quietly DELETED the weapons and surveillance language from their AI Principles. No announcement or press conference. April 2026: Signed the classified deal with the Pentagon for "any lawful government purpose." They didn't have a change of heart. They had a change of revenue. And the timing of this deal is where it gets really dark: 600 Google employees, including 20+ directors and VPs from DeepMind, sent a letter to Pichai on Monday begging him not to sign. The letter said the only way to guarantee Google's AI wouldn't be used for lethal autonomous weapons or mass surveillance was to reject classified workloads entirely, because once the technology enters air-gapped military networks, nobody at Google can see what happens to it. But Google literally signed the deal WHILE THE EMPLOYEES SLEPT. One Google AI researcher told Business Insider: "When I went to bed yesterday, I was hopeful that the employee letter would have an effect. This morning I woke up to the worst-case version of the contract being signed." The contract says Google has NO right to control or veto how the government uses its AI. The Pentagon can request Google to adjust its AI safety settings. And the deal covers classified networks where Google employees cannot monitor what's being done with their own technology. They handed over the keys and gave up the right to ask what the car is being used for. Meanwhile Anthropic got BLACKLISTED as a "supply chain risk" for asking for two restrictions: No mass surveillance of Americans and no fully autonomous weapons without a human pressing the button. The Pentagon treated an American company like a foreign adversary for requesting the exact same principles Google publicly pledged in 2018 and then quietly deleted. The math sums up the whole story: Project Maven in 2018 was worth a few million dollars. Google walked away and got applauded for having principles. The classified AI market in 2026 is worth tens of billions. Google deleted the principles and signed the deal at midnight. Palantir took over Project Maven after Google dropped it. That investment grew to $13 billion. Google watched a competitor make billions off the contract they abandoned for ethics and decided that would never happen again. In 2018, principles beat profits. In 2026, profits buried the principles. Google sold their soul for money.

This new Siri update is absolutely maddening. It's a tale as old as time, Siri being a complete joke. Google has historically just been far better at basically every stage of their lifecycle in terms of voice to text, and phone control. Google Assistant was completely dominant. So you would think considering that Google makes their own frontier models, and the fact they are one of the industry leaders in small models capable of running on Edge devices, that they would easily dominate the mobile space, right? I mean surely that would be true considering Apple has more or less been on the sidelines in the AI race, right? I seriously don't understand how this happened. On device Gemini, even with "Personal Intelligence" really has very little additional utility over the previous deterministic STT "Google Assistant" we've had for the last decade. What are we doing?

BREAKING: Pro-Palestine activists have disrupted a presentation by Werner Vogels, Amazon vice president and Chief Technology Officer, at the UN’s “AI for Good” summit in Switzerland. Palestinian civil society strongly condemns the UN International Telecommunication Union’s shameful partnership with criminal tech companies in this summit, particularly Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Cisco, Oracle, and IBM. In providing cloud infrastructure and AI technologies to the Israeli war ministry, these companies are deeply complicit in Israel's military occupation, apartheid and genocide against Indigenous Palestinians. Project Nimbus, the joint $1.22 billion contract between Google and Amazon signed in 2021, provides cloud and AI tech services to the Israeli government and the Israeli military. It enables the Israeli military to run deadly AI programs such as Lavender and Gospel — crucial to its ongoing, livestreamed genocide in Gaza. We call for global pressure on the UN and its member States to end all UN partnership and contracts with these and similarly complicit corporations, and on Amazon and Google to drop their genocidal Project Nimbus.

The three workers seen in the video have since been fired. This behavior can NEVER be acceptable in the spaces meant to help our children grow! We must protect our babies at all costs.

Chris Camillo just made the most bullish case on $AMZN. Everyone worried when Amazon raised their capex to $200 billion Camillo believes they might make that $200 billion back on their Anthropic investment alone when Anthropic IPOs. What Amazon has done in the last 18 months is remarkable in scope. They didn't try to win the foundation model race against OpenAI and Google directly. They went a completely different direction, positioning themselves as the infrastructure underneath everything that is AI. Trainium chips, cloud buildout, advertising integration and equity stakes in two of the three most important AI companies on the planet. First Anthropic. Now $50 billion into OpenAI on top of that. And that OpenAI investment isn't just a financial bet. It ties OpenAI into Amazon's cloud ecosystem, probably permanently. Two of the big three AI labs now run on Amazon infrastructure. Google is the only one that doesn't. The market has spent two years debating who builds the best model. Amazon decided to own the plumbing those models run on and bought equity in the winners while they were at it.

U.N. Took No Action Against Fired UNRWA Terrorists Involved in Oct. 7 Massacre: Q: “I’m wondering, in connection with UNRWA employees, I think there were nine of them fired because of their involvement in the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israeli civilians. Has the UN taken any further steps to hold those employees accountable, either criminally or civilly in court?” 🇺🇳 UN Spokesperson: “I believe the situation is that they did, in fact, dismiss those people in which there was credible evidence linking them to Hamas. As you know, the UN stands ready to waive immunity of staff or former staff as needed in the prosecution of criminal investigations by national authorities.” Q: “Well, what I’m talking about in this case is whether the UN itself—because it does have this legal capacity to itself bring the suit—whether the UN has been proactive in seeking legal accountability for what those fired employees did, and if not, why not?” 🇺🇳: “You seem to misunderstand. The UN does not have capacity to have its own criminal trials. Those are conducted by national jurisdictions. We cooperate with those national jurisdictions, including by waiving immunity as needed.” Q: “I think you’re misunderstanding my question. The UN has legal capacity to be a plaintiff, to bring a lawsuit in a court, international court. And I’m wondering whether it has exercised that authority proactively in the name of the United Nations against these fired employees who acted recklessly and outside the scope of their authority, and in some cases, created some damage to the reputation of the UN.” 🇺🇳: “What the UN has done, as I’ve stated, is that it took action in terms of firing the employees and then cooperating with national authorities in terms of investigation into them. Yes, Stefano, and then Abdelhamid…”

Has the UN taken any further steps to hold those employees accountable, either criminally or civilly in court?” 🇺🇳 UN Spokesperson: “I believe the situation is that they did, in fact, dismiss those people in which there was credible evidence linking them to Hamas. As you know, the UN stands ready to waive immunity of staff or former staff as needed in the prosecution of criminal investigations by national authorities.” Q: “Well, what I’m talking about in this case is whether the UN itself—because it does have this legal capacity to itself bring the suit—whether the UN has been proactive in seeking legal accountability for what those fired employees did, and if not, why not?” 🇺🇳: “You seem to misunderstand. The UN does not have capacity to have its own criminal trials. Those are conducted by national jurisdictions. We cooperate with those national jurisdictions, including by waiving immunity as needed.” Q: “I think you’re misunderstanding my question. The UN has legal capacity to be a plaintiff, to bring a lawsuit in a court, international court. And I’m wondering whether it has exercised that authority proactively in the name of the United Nations against these fired employees who acted recklessly and outside the scope of their authority, and in some cases, created some damage to the reputation of the UN.” 🇺🇳: “What the UN has done, as I’ve stated, is that it took action in terms of firing the employees and then cooperating with national authorities in terms of investigation into them. Yes, Stefano, and then Abdelhamid…”

Fired for asking a question? We stand with Italian journalist Gabriele Nunziati as he takes legal action against Agenzia Nova after his contract was terminated following a question he asked the European Commission about Israel paying for the reconstruction of Gaza last October. In Europe, the silencing, censorship and repression of journalists speaking out against Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip are arbitrarily restricting the right to freedom of expression. Meanwhile, the Israeli military has been killing scores of Palestinian journalists in Gaza who were bravely continuing to report despite being themselves victims of Israeli abuses. No conflict in modern history has seen a higher number of journalists killed than Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip. Humanity must win.

From Dorm Room to $4.3 Trillion: How Google Built 8 Billion-User Products. 🇺🇸 Eight different products, each used by more than a billion people every month. One company owns all of them. 🤔 This is the story of how two grad students in a dorm room built the biggest tech empire on the planet. In 1995, Larry Page and Sergey Brin met at Stanford and, by their own account, disagreed about nearly everything. A year later, working out of their dorm rooms, they built a search tool called BackRub that ranked web pages by how many other pages linked to them. They renamed it Google. It went public in 2004, bought YouTube in 2006, and built Android into the world's most-used mobile software. The results are almost hard to believe. Eight separate Google products, including Search, YouTube, Gmail, and Android, each have over a billion monthly users. 😮

IT industry has great export potential but is compelled to keep its dollars abroad. IT companies have to pay salaries of their international employees placed with foreign clients, and incur monthly expenses for cloud hosting, marketing and sales on platforms like Google, Amazon, Azure, LinkedIn etc. We worked with the SIFC and the State Bank to make a big policy intervention last month, allowing IT companies to keep 50% of their export revenue in dollars in an account in Pakistan and make their international expenses without any restrictions from this amount. Result? IT companies are beginning to bring their dollars back home, and our export revenue jumped by 14% in one month! A 20% increase compared to last year. At this rate, we will cross $3 billion IT exports in a few months, in our journey towards $10 Billion IT export revenue. Onwards and upwards!

Google is making $62 billion a quarter destroying the websites it NEEDS to survive. This is literally a death spiral that ends with Google killing itself. Let me explain what's going on... Google added AI summaries to the top of every search result in 2024. When you Google something now, the answer sits right there on Google's page. You never have to click anywhere. Google took the information from someone else's website, summarized it, and kept you inside Google's ecosystem. The result: 60% of all Google searches now end without a single click to any website. Small publishers lost 60% of their traffic in one year. Medium publishers lost 47%. Even the biggest names in media, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Business Insider, all saw traffic fall between 22% and 55%. The Axios CEO called it "a referral extinction event for the ad-supported web." Google's response to all of this was to tell publishers they can "opt out" of having their content summarized. But opting out also REMOVES your description from normal search results. So the choice Google gives you is let us steal your content for free, or become invisible on the internet. That's extortion. The Washington Post laid off another round of journalists this year because of it. Stereogum, one of the most respected music publications on the internet, had to BEG readers for donations. Business Insider cut 21% of its staff. Dozens of smaller publishers have shut down entirely. The people who actually CREATE the information Google summarizes are going bankrupt while Google posts record revenue. But here's where this gets interesting and where everyone stops thinking: Google's AI summaries are only as good as the content they summarize. If the publishers who write the original articles, run the original investigations, and create the original data go out of business, there is nothing left for Google to summarize. The AI starts recycling old information, the answers get stale, the quality drops, and users start noticing that Google's summaries are increasingly wrong, outdated, or useless. Google is essentially strip-mining the internet for short-term revenue. They are extracting all the value from content creators without paying for it, driving those creators out of business, and then wondering why the quality of their own product is declining. This is exactly what Napster did to the music industry in the early 2000s: Made content free, creators went broke, and quality collapsed. It took a decade to rebuild. Google is doing the same thing to the entire internet at 100x the scale. Rolling Stone, Variety, Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter, and Billboard are now suing Google for antitrust violations. Chegg, the education platform, lost 49% of its traffic and is suing too. The UK's competition authority just ordered Google to let publishers opt out without being punished. The DOJ already ruled Google is an illegal monopoly. And Google's defense in court is genuinely unbelievable. They argue that publishers CHOOSE to let Google index their content and can leave anytime they want. That's like saying you choose to pay protection money to the mob because technically you could close your business and move to another city. Google controls 90% of search. Leaving Google means leaving the internet. Meanwhile Google is investing billions in custom AI chips to make these summaries cheaper at scale. Every quarter the problem gets worse. The internet as we've known it for 25 years ran on a simple deal: Publishers make content. Google sends traffic. Advertisers pay for the traffic. Everyone wins. But Google just BROKE that deal and kept all the money.

Demis Hassabis said that 90% of the breakthroughs the entire AI industry runs on came out of Google. Every competitor is building on work his teams did first. He said it without flinching. Over the last decade, he claims 90% or more of the big breakthroughs that underpin modern AI came from Google Brain or DeepMind. Transformers. AlphaGo. The reinforcement learning everything now depends on. Transformers are the T in GPT. The architecture that made every large language model possible came out of Google in 2017, in a paper called Attention Is All You Need. His point was simple. Every rival lab is running on foundations his people poured. But here is what he left out. Of the eight authors who wrote that transformer paper, all eight left Google. They went on to found or join OpenAI, Anthropic, and their own startups now worth billions. Google invented the engine. Then watched the inventors walk out the door and build the competition. He says Google still has the biggest research bench of any lab on earth, and the talent war is the most ferocious tech has ever seen. Everyone treats this race like the labs are evenly matched. The man who started fifteen years early does not see it that way. The people who left with his blueprint might be the reason he has to keep proving it.
