Microsoft fires Joe Lopez for disrupting Genocide-profiteer Satya Nadella during Microsoft Build Keynote speech and bans words like "Palestine", "Gaza" and "Genocide" in all company emails!!! Yet another chapter in a long tale of Microsoft's intimidation, retaliation, repression, and censorship culture.

Yeah, actively protesting about your employer has a pretty predictable outcome. They had to know that going in (and props for having the balls to do it) but I doubt they were surprised.
