Protesters at Google’s developer conference in California chanted “Shame on Google' and “Google Cloud rains blood' while blocking entrance into the event.
Protesters at Google’s developer conference in Mountain View, California chanted "Shame on Google" and "Google Cloud rains blood" while blocking entrance into the event this morning. According to The Los Angeles Times, demands of the anti-Israel demonstrators at the event were that the company cease its business with the Israeli government through Google’s Nimbus project, a $1.2-billion cloud-computing and artificial intelligence services contract.
Despite Google denying claims that Project Nimbus was providing Israel with weapons and intelligence assistance during the ongoing Gaza Strip conflict, the protesters at the conference known as No Tech for Genocide continue to voice demands for the tech giant to end the project. The tech conglomerate released a statement in April regarding Project Nimbus that read, "This work is not directed at highly sensitive, classified, or military workloads relevant to weapons or intelligence services.
