Microsoft blocks emails that contain the terms “ Palestine ” or “ Gaza ” after employee protests.

Microsoft says it has implemented some form of email changes to reduce “politically focused emails” inside the company.

The block of these terms comes in a week when current and former Microsoft employees have been protesting against the company’s contracts with the Israeli government.
