The title of the video now is “It’s Working! The Fight Back Against Microsoft’s War Profiteering.”
The video is by “People Make Games,” and it is a fundraiser for “The Palestine Children’s Relief Fund.”
They explain that the Israeli military did a deal with Microsoft to use their datacenters to store the audio of all phone calls made by Palestinians. This call data was then used by Israeli intelligence to target people.
Microsoft have since cancelled the deal and blocked the Israeli military access to the data, but only after The Guardian published the details of the mass surveillance project and it led to protests and boycotts of Microsoft.
This video is loosely a follow-up to a previous video that People Make Games did 2 years ago called, “The Games Industry Must Not Stay Silent on Palestine” and speaks to campaigners and games developers about their boycott of Microsoft services, including Xbox, as a way to put pressure on Microsoft to stop dealing with the Israeli government completely.
At the end of the video they encourage viewers to make a pledge to commit to the Microsoft boycott, and secondly to donate to the non-profit Palestinian children’s charity that they are fundraising for.
