Microsoft blocks Israel’s use of its tech in mass surveillance of Palestinians

All: Please actually read the article before posting conclusions based on the headline or a quick skim. Most of this thread is confused.

This is off-topic, but I'd like to hijack your comment to remind everyone that your comment is _technically_ against the rules. I hope this particular example reveals that the rule against "RTFA" is misguided and should be changed or removed because it creates a culture where people are deliberately misinformed seeking only a summary in the comment section (if that) and some kind of hot take to fume about.

I agree but there are some dodgy links that make it through and a good way to lower risk is being hesitant to click random links, or at least not being the first person to do so.

Articles should probably come with a similar delay that comment replies do, to prevent comments in the first few minutes after it's posted.
