Pars Today – Microsoft employees have reported that emails containing the words “Palestine,” “Gaza,” “genocide,” and “apartheid” are being blocked. Microsoft employees are concerned that the company has blocked Microsoft Outlook emails containing the words "Palestine," "Gaza," "genocide," and "apartheid," even if they are mentioned in human resources complaints.

They said they noticed the change starting Wednesday and conducted tests with batches of emails with and without these terms. According to evidence reviewed by CNBC and three informed sources, only emails without the flagged terms appeared in inboxes; those with “Palestine,” “Gaza,” “genocide,” or “apartheid” were not delivered.
