#AI Microsoft's Azure used to store millions of Palestinian phone calls
#Microsoft's #Azure cloud platform has been used by Israel's military intelligence unit to store vast amounts of data, including millions of phone calls made by Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. This capability, initiated in 2021 under the direction of Unit 8200's former commander, Yoav Sariel, allows for extensive surveillance and potential use of data for military operations.
#Microsoft claims no knowledge of the specific data stored, internal documents reveal a multi-year partnership aimed at leveraging Azure's storage for intelligence purposes.
