Re: “the research is entirely google’s.”
For the last two years, Google had been a marquee sponsor of IT For IDF — the company is a natural partner for the event, given Google Cloud’s foundational role in Project Nimbus, a $1.2 billion contract aimed at modernizing cloud computing operations across Israeli government that it shares with Amazon.
Google’s own corporate schedule, reviewed by The Intercept, seems to contradict this statement. The document includes upcoming Google events in Israel, and IT For IDF 2024 is on the list. On this internal schedule, Google is explicitly labeled as a co-sponsor of the conference in partnership with CloudEx, an Israeli cloud computing consultancy.

You shouldn’t support Google either: don’t use google services, use adblock, de-google your phone…
Oh, I agree, and I wasn’t disputing that Google is a scummy IDF supporting company.
I was just saying that the research wasn’t Tel Aviv University’s. He was just a contributor to the project.
Fair enough.
