August 15, 2026 L. Cam Anderson, Unicorn Riot. , , , ,
Mankato, MN — Minnesotans gathered on July 25 in the basement of Mankato’s Grace Lutheran Church for a panel on the hyperscale data centers seemingly popping up across the North Star State. Roughly 80 attendees from the Mankato area and further filled the underground room, frequently adjusting themselves on metal folding chairs throughout the three hour event as the whirring air conditioner kept the space nearly refrigerated. Aubree Derkson of Pine Island, who has been heavily involved in the fight against the planned Google data center in her small, rural community of roughly 3,000, was the event’s first speaker.

How The ‘Imperial Six’ Support Imperialism And Vice Versa

May 15, 2026 Zev Rosen, Workers World. , , ,
On March 11, at the height of the imperial war against Iran, Al Jazeera reported that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had declared key U.S. and Israeli corporations to be fair targets for resistance in the region. Specifically, the IRGC named Google, IBM, Microsoft, Nvidia, Oracle and Palantir. These “Imperial Six” corporations are key pillars of the U.S. economy of violence and destruction. Targeting them in solidarity with Iran and all nations targeted by colonialism can be a crucial step towards a world finally free from U.S. imperialism.

Google AI Workers In United Kingdom Launch Union Campaign

May 14, 2026 Shireen Akram-Boshar, Truthout. , , ,
On Tuesday, May 5, Google AI workers in the U.K. launched a unionization bid, as part of an attempt to end the use of their technology by Israel and the U.S. military. Workers at Google DeepMind — Google’s AI research laboratory, based in London — sent a letter to management Tuesday requesting recognition of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) and Unite the Union as official representatives of their staff. The decision to unionize followed a deal between Google and the Pentagon that sparked internal backlash. Last week, Google agreed to let the U.S. Department of Defense use its AI models in classified military networks for “any lawful government purpose.”

Google AI Workers Unionize Against Tech Giant’s Role In US, Israeli War Crimes

May 6, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , , , , , ,
On 6 May, Google DeepMind workers in the UK asked management to recognize the Communication Workers Union (CWU) and Unite the Union as their workplace representatives, as staff prepare to challenge the use of Google AI technology by the US and Israeli militaries. “We don’t want our AI models complicit in violations of international law, but they already are aiding Israel’s genocide of Palestinians,” one DeepMind employee said. “Even if our work is only used for administrative purposes, as leadership has repeatedly told us, it is still helping make genocide cheaper, faster, and more efficient.

Iran Blasts YouTube Ban On Lego Mockery Videos

April 16, 2026 Stephen Prager, Consortium News. , , , , ,
Iran’s Foreign Ministry is accusing YouTube of trying to “suppress the truth” by banning the account responsible for a series of viral Lego-style animations mocking the U.S.-Israeli war. The small [Iranian digital media] team known as Explosive Media has racked up tens of millions of views across several platforms, with slickly produced music videos mercilessly lampooning the Trump administration and glorifying Iran’s struggle against the U.S. and Israel in attacks that began at the end of February. Last week, Explosive Media had its channel suspended from YouTube for “violent content,” which its owners disputed.

I’ve Worked At Google For Decades; I’m Sickened By What It’s Doing

July 7, 2025 Emma Jackson, Portside. , , ,
When I joined Google, over 20 years ago, it was just a start-up employing a few thousand people. It felt like we were committed to making something useful for society. When I first visited the Mountain View headquarters and saw people in Google-branded T-shirts, I thought the company must make engineers wear a uniform—why else would someone wear a shirt announcing where they work? I’d never seen or experienced this sense of passion for one’s employer, but I soon saw why: Every few months, a new product or feature would launch that offered a free and truly useful service (Gmail! Google Maps!).

Mexican Activists Are Building Digital Defenses Against Big Tech Colonialism

May 18, 2025 Tamara Pearson, Truthout. , , , , , , , ,
In Mexico, the tech oligarchy is thriving. Amazon is increasing its spending and plans to lavish $6 billion in U.S. currency in Mexico during this year and next. Meanwhile, the multinational technology company Nvidia is manufacturing AI servers (exempted from tariffs) at factories in Mexico. Roughly 60 percent of the U.S.’s AI servers are made in Mexico, and Foxconn and Nvidia have recently begun production of a $900 million assembly plant in Mexico for AI servers using Nvidia’s GB200 Superchips for Project Stargate, the OpenAI and U.S. government program aimed at consolidating U.S. AI dominance.

Google’s Acquisition Of An Israeli Software Company: Big Tech’s Complicity In Genocide

May 11, 2025 Refaat Ibrahim, Mondoweiss. , , , , , ,
At a time when global concern is mounting over the crimes committed against civilians in Gaza, and calls are increasing to halt the genocide being carried out by Israel, recent news reveals a more dangerous role played by giant tech companies in fueling the Israeli war machine. In July 2024, Alphabet, the parent company of Google, announced the completion of its acquisition of the Israeli company Wiz for an unprecedented amount — $32 billion in cash. The move was described as the largest acquisition in Google’s history. But this deal goes beyond being merely a business investment; it reveals the depth of moral and technical involvement Silicon Valley companies have in supporting the economy of the Israeli occupation, and even in financing its military and intelligence arms.

AI Energy Demand Can Keep Fossil Fuels Alive

April 23, 2025 Sharon Kelly and Bailey Chambers, DeSmog. , , , , , ,
Just before the November 2024 election, the International Energy Agency (IEA) released its flagship annual report on global energy markets – and the agency’s forecast suggested a new era was dawning. Over 150 years of growth in demand for fossil fuels has nearly reached its end, the IEA’s forecasts showed for a second year in a row. Fossil fuel demand will peak by the end of this decade, the organization affirmed, concluding that clean energy like wind, solar, and storage look increasingly capable of driving fossil fuels out of global energy markets – and soon.

Wiz Acquisition Puts Israeli Intelligence In Charge Of Google Data

April 19, 2025 Alan MacLeod, MintPress News. , , ,
Google recently announced it would acquire Israeli-American cloud security firm Wiz for $32 billion. The price tag — 65 times Wiz’s annual revenue — has raised eyebrows and further solidified the close relationship between Google and the Israeli military. In its press release, the Silicon Valley giant claimed that the purchase will “vastly improve how security is designed, operated and automated—providing an end-to-end security platform for customers, of all types and sizes, in the AI era.” Yet it has also raised fears about the security of user data, particularly of those who oppose Israeli actions against its neighbors, given Unit 8200’s long history of using tech to spy on opponents, gather intelligence, and use that knowledge for extortion and blackmail.

Donald Trump has returned for his second term as US president. He invited some of the world’s most powerful billionaire oligarchs to his inauguration in Washington. Sitting next to Trump’s cabinet nominees, at the center of his inauguration, were the three richest people on Earth: Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla; Jeff Bezos, the founder and executive chairman of Amazon; and Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, which is the parent company of Facebook and Instagram. Together, these three men have nearly $900 billion in wealth. They could be seen on video chatting alongside Sundar Pichai, who is the billionaire CEO of Google and its parent company Alphabet.

January 4, 2025 Palestine Chronicle, Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , , , , , ,
In a significant shift, talks between the Israel Innovation Authority (IIA) and tech giants Amazon and Google regarding the development of a government supercomputer have collapsed. Following the breakdown in negotiations, the Israeli government has opened up the project to other bidders, signaling a shift toward an alternative technological partnership. As reported by Globes, the tender for the supercomputer project is valued at NIS 290 million (approximately $79.4 million), with the winning bidder set to receive a government grant of NIS 160 million ($44 million).

Exposing Big Tech’s Complicity In Genocide

January 2, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , , , , , , , , , ,
The vast censorship and suppression campaign launched by American tech companies since October 7, 2023 has been both systemic and deliberate. Instagram, Facebook, X as well as other tech platforms and companies like Google, Microsoft and Apple have actively worked to stifle information regarding the genocide in Gaza. Dissent against policies or individuals who enable these decisions is often met with swift reprimand in the form of job loss. Joining host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report are three courageous individuals who chose to put their careers on the line to fight against Big Tech suppression of voices fighting for Palestinian lives.

Russian Media Demands $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 From Google

November 2, 2024 RT, Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , ,
Russian news broadcasters are owed an unbelievable sum from US tech giant Google over their loss of access to YouTube, RBK news outlet reported, citing sources with knowledge of the matter. According to the report, the total amount Google owes the 17 Russian broadcasters has reached $20.6 decillion as of October 28. The staggering figure stems from a host of lawsuits filed against Google, in which a number of Russian news channels accused it of unlawfully blocking their content on the video hosting platform. In October 2022, the Moscow Arbitration Court ordered Google to restore YouTube access to the blocked Russian channels.

Campaign Against Project Nimbus Gathers Steam And Supporters

August 25, 2024 Omar Zahzah, The Electronic Intifada. , , , ,
Years of activism against Google’s complicity in Israel’s colonial violence against Palestinians have forced the multinational tech behemoth into a rigid moral impasse and exposed the hollowness of its brand. In April 2021, Google and Amazon were awarded a $1.2 billion contract with Israel for Project Nimbus, which aimed to streamline all of Israel’s government and military operations into one cloud service. Hundreds of Google and Amazon workers opposed the deal out of the conviction that such an undertaking would bolster “further surveillance of and unlawful data collection on Palestinians” and “expansion of Israel’s illegal settlements on Palestinian land,” as they wrote in the UK’s Guardian newspaper in 2021.
