Microsoft is reportedly banning Palestinians in the U.S. for life for calling relatives in Gaza

This is what I fear the most with these platforms. They have these shitty automated moderation systems that can just decide to delete everything you have there on a whim. Already common on places like youtube and facebook, but it just keeps getting worse. Every site is pushing users into signing in with their google/microsoft/whatever accounts.

Remember the guy who lost access to his smart home when amazon banned him for no reason?

Employee sued boss who marked problems with "XX" as she thought they were kisses

renaming a draft presentation file with his initials “AJG” in brackets as standing for “A Jumbo Genital”.

asked her when a project would be finished, she told the tribunal he burst out shouting with an “extremely angry voice”, saying “I need date, date, date”. Ms Gasparova interpreted this as having been asked “the exact date when I would finally agree on sexual contact with him”

To indicate what details he required her to fill in he used XX, YY and ???? in the message, written in red. ‌The tribunal heard she interpreted the Xs as meaning kisses, the Ys as sexual contact of some kind and the question marks as when she would be “ready to engage in sexual acts”'.

This reads like satire. Did this really happen or is something important left out? Surely no one can understand things this wrong?
