This page is subject to the extended confirmed restriction related to the Arab-Israeli conflict.No Tech for Apartheid (NoTA) is an international campaign that works to end Project Nimbus, a contract between Google, Amazon and Israel.
Starting with an anonymous letter[3] written by Google and Amazon workers condemning the deal, the group eventually became a dedicated campaign[4] with an emphasis on pressuring the two tech giants to cancel the project.
In March 2024, a Google Cloud software engineer was fired after a video of them shouting "I refuse to build technology that empowers genocide," in reference to Project Nimbus, at a company event went viral.
Employees occupied the office of Google Cloud chief executive Thomas Kurian, while livestreaming the peaceful protest.
[21] Google denied firing any employee who was not directly involved and maintained that Project Nimbus involved non-military workloads compliant with Google's Terms of Service:We have been very clear that the Nimbus contract is for workloads running on our commercial cloud by Israeli government ministries, who agree to comply with our Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy.
