    Isn’t the big problem that the US government does not classify the ongoing genocide as genocide?

      As an internationally active company there is many jurisdictions, where Microsoft can be held accountable.

        I understand that but I don’t see it being relevant. Wasn’t Putin declared a war criminal by some nation states but then nothing happens? And didn’t the same happen to Israels prime minister? (Cant recall how to spell his name and not going to search for it now)

        Maybe I’m just jaded but I don’t see consequences coming for those who deserve it, I mean, the president of the united states is a convicted criminal…

          Putin cant visit most countries anymore. Netanyahu neither. Exceptions are the US who want to destroy the ICC anyways and recently Hungary who now want to leave the ICC to suck up to Netanyahu.

            Was Switzerland one of those countries? Because their stance now is that they will not arrest him if he goes for peace talks. I guess the reasonsing is the goal of the visit: peace talks, but we all can deduce that nothing will come of those talks that is positive to Ukraine.

      Yes, and Microsoft lawyers have certainly gone over the contracts and communications to ensure that they’re always going to have plausible deniability as to what their client was doing.

      The best we could hope for is some engineers to become whistleblowers and share what was said during in-person meetings, unrecorded conversations and in side channels, like Signal chats.

      No Microsoft executives will ever see any legal consequences for this.
