Some 70 protesters, including current and former Google employees, bearing signs stating “no tech for apartheid,” tried to enter the building
Dozens of people who protested United Nations partnerships with technology companies that do business with Israel were removed from U.N. headquarters in New York on Tuesday.
Last week, the United Nations hosted its annual AI for Good Summit in Geneva, where it recognized executives from Amazon, Google, Microsoft and IBM, all of which are companies U.N. “independent adviser” Francesca Albanese has accused of complicity in Israeli “genocide” in Gaza. (Washington recently sanctioned Albanese, who has a long history of anti-semitic remarks.)
Some 70 protesters, including current and former Google employees, bearing signs stating “no tech for apartheid,” tried to enter U.N. headquarters. After security blocked them, the protesters gathered outside the building.
