Had to speak heavy against Israel, Palestinian engineer suspended:

Google, Microsoft, Amazon … These names have become a part of our daily life. We use their service, shopping on their platforms. But nowadays these big tech companies are in the headlines for a completely different reason-and that is the reason to take strict action on their own employees who speak on the Israel-Filistine struggle.

Now a new name has been added to this series, Amazon.

What is this whole matter?

The latest case is related to the world’s largest e-commerce company Amazon. According to reports, Amazon has suspended an engineer of one of his Palestinian origin. It is alleged that the engineer raised his voice on the Israel-Felistine struggle on the social media or the internal platform of the company and spoke in support of Palestine.

The company took this action against it, considering it a violation of its rules, once again sparked a big debate on ‘freedom of expression’.

This is not the first event

This story is not just about Amazon. This is part of the trend which has been seen in Silicon Valley (America’s tech industry) for some time.

• Before that, GoogleThe engineer was fired in the middle event, who stood up during the presentation of a big officer of the company and started shouting slogans in support of Palestine.
• Microsoft But similar allegations have been made that he is trying to suppress the voice of employees supporting Palestine.

After all, why are these companies doing this?

Now the question arises that why have these companies, who always talk of ‘open culture’ and ‘freedom to speak’, have become so strict on this issue?

There can be two major reasons behind this:

1. Distance from business and dispute: The issue of Israel-Felistine is very sensitive and disputed. These big companies do not want to harm their business by getting into any kind of dispute. She does not want to see any one side supporting.
2. Company policy: These companies have strict policies, according to which no employee can use the company’s platform for political propagation or work that spoils the office environment.

So do you have to remain silent to save the job?

These incidents are giving rise to a major debate. On one side there are the rules and business of the company, on the other side there are employees, who feel that it is their right to raise their voice on a humanitarian crisis.

This struggle has brought big companies to a point where they have to make a difficult election between business and ‘freedom of voice’ of their employees. Currently, it seems that their business is more important for these companies.
