SAN FRANCISCO: Some Microsoft Corp employees on Feb 22 demanded that the company cancel a US$480mil (RM1.95bil) hardware contract to supply the US Army, with 94 workers signing a petition calling on the company to stop developing "any and all weapons technologies".
The organising effort, described to Reuters by three Microsoft workers, offers the latest example in the last year of tech employees protesting cooperation with governments on emerging technologies.
