No Azure for Apartheid, a worker-led organization, has urged Microsoft to end its relationship with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after learning that the agency has tripled the amount of data stored on Azure servers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to reports, ICE’s storage has reached 1,400 terabytes, and it is suspected that it is using Microsoft\u2019s artificial intelligence (AI) tools to analyze<\/a> this data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft is behind ICE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The organization claims that Microsoft acts as a “provider of digital weapons,” supporting the surveillance and repression of communities both in Palestine and in the United States. Despite the accusations, Microsoft has denied any use of its tools for mass surveillance, insisting that its policies prohibit such uses and that they do not believe ICE is engaged in such activities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2018, Microsoft employees have expressed their support for communities affected by ICE’s actions<\/a> and have demanded an end to collaboration with the agency. A group of technology professionals has launched a petition through ICEout.tech, demanding the removal of ICE from U.S. cities and the cancellation of contracts with the agency<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
