Microsoft president Brad Smith sends memo to employees on ‘Gaza spying’ report; says: We are adding new way for employees to report …
Microsoft is reportedly introducing a new internal mechanism that allows employees to report concerns about how the company’s technologies are developed and deployed, as pressure mounts over its involvement in Israel’s military and surveillance operations. According to a report in Geekwire, Microsoft president Brad Smith has sent a memo to all employees in this regard. In the message to employees, Smith said that the company is expanding its internal “Integrity Portal” to include a new feature called “Trusted Technology Review.”
The tool will allow employees confidentially flag potential policy violations or raise ethical concerns about the company’s technology use — in a process similar to how workers currently report workplace misconduct, security incidents, or legal issues.
