Incredible (but predictable) : #Microsoft has blocked the International Criminal Court's access (#ICC) to its services on the orders of the #Trump mafia.
Read that carefully : an international organisation that has no presence in the United States and no US legal rights has had its work tools blocked simply because it disagrees with the Trump administration. 🚩
As bad as this is, it follows "due process". Khan has been assigned a "Specially Designated Individual" by US OFAC (by order of the 🟠) and as a US corporation, MSFT was legally required to sever any and all contractual connections with him. The guy probably doesn't even have a Netflix account now.
This is the same legal process that is used for, say, ransomware dudes or russian presidents.
If the chief prosecutor of the ICC can be arbitrarily put on the SDN, everyone can.
Sad misuse of power. Now they are forced to use other tools. Might be a long-term benefit. I wish they would do that to my employer. We normally only stop using #windoze when forced. In any case it shows that anyone and everyone needs to have redundant #resilient #IT systems to prevent bullying and data loss. What would happen if #apple suddenly shut its #icloud ? Need by law to know where in the computer our raw data is & by law to be able to back it up using 3rd party systems.
🗨️ I have to comment on that:
The #icc made a deal w/Microsoft in 2018/20, the first time I critized that move and investigated some German investment companies in Frankfurt #germany on cloud comp.
My organization uses #Microsoft services because some contracts or deals made between the big tech and the Spanish government. Open source software has a very marginal presence, and #Linux is nowhere to be seen.
Out of what? As you yourself said, the ICC has no presence in the USA.
While disgusting, the whole story was entirely predictable:
The ICC issues arrest warrants for a key US ally => The US sanctions the ICC => US companies (Microsoft) are forced to stop serving the ICC, just like they can't serve any other sanctioned entity. More interestingly, UK companies (banks) have done the same - although unlike Microsoft, they had no legal obligation to do it.
time for the rest of the world to take this as an act of digital imperialism from a fascist authoritarian regime. I think it's time most governments around the world de-leverage from any Microsoft products and going forward only implement their own open source products that will allow them a degree of control over their own infrastructure, data and security. Turns out America owns the means of global communication and intends to weaponize it & turn it off whenever it chooses to do so
Even if I agree with the danger and seriousness of that move as well as with your advice, your sentence "#Microsoft has blocked the International Criminal Court's access (#ICC) to its services on the orders of the #Trump mafia." is misleading.
The article did not state that they block #ICC to its services but that they block the personal email of their chief prosecutor.
Let us not use the same lies or approximations as those fascists.
It's incredibly stupid and unprofessional that an international organisation would source such services from anywhere else than its member states who have granted it the appropriate privileges and immunities.
#microsoft deals even with the devil if it’s profitable So working on behalf of fascists is no problem for them. If it was 1943 they would help the nazis running the gaschambers.

L'immagine è una sequenza di due fumetti che raffigurano una conversazione telefonica tra una figlia e sua madre. Nella prima parte, una donna con capelli castani e un maglione arancione parla al telefono, esprimendo la sua preoccupazione per una lite con il marito e la sua intenzione di tornare a casa della madre per punirlo. La madre, rappresentata con capelli grigi e un maglione viola, risponde con un tono divertito e consigliando alla figlia di lasciarla venire a casa loro per punire il marito. La conversazione è in italiano e riflette un momento di umorismo familiare, evidenziando il ruolo protettivo e interventista della madre.

Les sanctions de Trump contre le procureur de la CPI ont mis fin au travail de la Cour
Par MOLLY QUELL - 15 mai 2025
LA HAYE, Pays-Bas (AP) – Le procureur en chef de la Cour pénale internationale a perdu l’accès à ses courriels, et ses comptes bancaires ont été gelés.
Les membres du personnel américain du tribunal de La Haye ont été informés que s’ils se rendent aux États-Unis, ils risquent d’être arrêtés.
Certaines organisations non gouvernementales ont cessé de travailler avec la CPI, et les dirigeants de l'une d'entre elles ne répondront même pas aux courriels des fonctionnaires des tribunaux.
Ce ne sont là que quelques-uns des obstacles auxquels le personnel judiciaire est confronté depuis les États-Unis. Le président Donald Trump a imposé en février des sanctions contre son procureur en chef, Karim Khan, selon des entretiens avec des responsables actuels et anciens de la CPI, des avocats internationaux et des défenseurs des droits de l'homme.
Les sanctions « empêcheront les victimes d’avoir accès à la justice », a déclaré Liz Evenson, directrice de la justice internationale à Human Rights Watch.
Trump a sanctionné le tribunal après qu'un collège de juges de la CPI, en novembre, a émis des mandats d'arrêt contre le Premier ministre israélien Benjamin Netanyahu et son ancien ministre de la Défense, Yoav Gallant.
Les juges ont trouvé des raisons de croire que le duo aurait pu commettre des crimes de guerre en restreignant l’aide humanitaire et en ciblant intentionnellement des civils dans la campagne israélienne contre le Hamas à Gaza – des accusations rejetées par les responsables israéliens.
Email is critical infrastructure in today's digitalized world. Relying on foreign hosting is not a good idea for anybody at risk of political interference because of their profession. Hosting email locally is still very much possible, even if it gets more involved year over year. Email is the one federated protocol that we have for direct communication. Even with all of its deficiencies in security and privacy, it is the common denominator that connects people. Don't give up control over your own, most basic digital communication channel. Use local hosting companies that you can still call in an emergency, ideally within your own (maybe extended, like EU level) jurisdiction.
Update: As pointed out by @ilumium, depending on your threat model, using an explicitly foreign email service provider can be beneficial if your *local* government is the main threat actor. However, if the local government can physically get you or your client devices, then don't assume too much protection through the email service.
The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has lost access to his (Microsoft) email and bank accounts. Prosecutions are faltering now. This all due to US sanctions. 'Microsoft did not respond to a request for comments'. Yet European governments are collectively moving their email and files to Microsoft, risking similar problems if they ever upset the US administration. apnews.com/article/icc-trump-s…

Ruscism and Nazism: different times, same patterns.
Both ideologies glorify violence, erase democracy, dehumanize the other, and rewrite history to justify their crimes.
Here’s a closer look at how modern-day Ruscism mirrors the darkest features of 20th-century Nazism – from cults of strong leaders to genocide and militarized propaganda.

As a celebration of the Week of Free Expression this May, the Central Public Library of Berlin exhibited a display of books banned in school libraries in the USA in 2025.
The ZLB is also called the America Memorial Library of Berlin. It was built in the 50s with a major donation from the USA's public diplomacy program with the explicit goal to reeducate Nazi Germans towards democracy.
It is a short walk away from Bebel Square, location of a memorial to a grand public book burning by the Nazis in May 1933.
The memorial is a window in the ground that gives you a glimpse to an underground room with empty bookshelves. It is called The Empty Library.
In USA existieren lange Listen von Büchern, die in Bibliotheken verboten werden. Macht Euch ein eigenes Bild! Zur Woche der Meinungsfreiheit findet Ihr ab heute in der AGB im Eingangsregal Bücher, die in einem oder mehreren Staaten in den USA aus (Schul-)Bibliotheken entfernt wurden.
Viele Titel sind für Kinder und Jugendliche geschrieben und haben Themen wie Sexualität, Identität, Rassismus oder psychische Krankheiten als Thema.

As US President Donald Trump continued his tour through the Middle East, Israel escalated its mass killings in Gaza, bombing two hospitals and killing at least 80 people in a single day.
Imprevisto davvero insolito causa il rinvio a tempo indeterminato del primo tentativo di lancio orbitale dall'Australia. Un malfunzionamento ha fatto aprire la carenatura del razzo quando era ancora sulla rampa, ben prima di accendere i motori
Scientists with decades of work in the USA are packing up to continue their careers elsewhere. And it's not about politics or principles -- it's about economics.
The problem is that other countries simply don't have the capacity to absorb the US scientific apparatus. A prof on Bluesky pointed out that Europe had launched a new fund to support researchers moving…and it was about half the amount that her university (UMich) alone gets from the federal government.
@shriramk That's important to highlight -- the net effect is going to be not that research gets redistributed but more that research output will greatly decline.
I just hope that people start seeing that those researchers that do find somewhere else to hang their shingle are not doing it due to "Trump derangement syndrome" but instead because the economic situation for them is now better outside of the US. It's not symbolic; it's unfortunately pragmatic.
