Google terminated 28 employees for participating in sit-in protests against the company's cloud project with the Israeli government. The protests, involving nine arrests, occurred in New York and California. Chris Rackow, Google's head of security, condemned the behavior as disruptive and threatening, emphasizing a zero-tolerance policy. The terminated employees had their access to systems revoked. The protests targeted Google's $1.2 billion contract, demanding withdrawal. Rackow issued a stern warning to all employees, reaffirming adherence to company policies. The contract, known as Nimbus, was signed in 2021.
