A worldwide outage of Microsoft's Azure grounded flights and impacted banks today. Azure is also used by police for mass surveillance. https://theintercept.com/2020/07/14/microsoft-police-state-mass-surveillance-facial-recognition/
@theintercept This is factually inaccurate and should be corrected. Flights and banks were impacted by a 3rd party, crowdstrike, pushing a patch to their customers which caused Windows machines to blue screen. Yes, there was an Azure outage last night, but they are completely unrelated and it was certainly NOT a “worldwide outage.”
@theintercept so we had a little bit of privacy for a moment, nice
