Ibtihal Abouassad, a Moroccan programmer at Microsoft, has lost access to her work accounts and cannot log back in, suggesting she may have been fired, the Associated Press reported.
This development follows a widely shared video showing Abouassad protesting during Microsoft’s 50th-anniversary celebration. In the video, she voiced opposition to the company supplying artificial intelligence (AI) technology to the Israeli military.
Abouassad, a Harvard University graduate, received widespread praise on social media after her protest. Many users hailed her actions, viewing her as representing an ethical conscience within the tech industry, where business interests are often seen as taking priority over moral considerations.
