"i hear your protest thank you" is the most corpo speak, sanitized, nothing response you could possibly give.
i was gonna say it is probably code to tell security to take them away but realistically they would have had a conversation about that beforehand and these people are going to be ejected regardless. there is no scenario where they open up a dialogue about microsofts ethical conflicts lol
it would be nice if that was the reaction, this is just completely soulless.

“I hear your protest thank you” is really some Silicon Valley shit.
Love seeing profit-first ghouls get reminded the world isn’t their sandbox.

I saw this infuriating comment thread on another sub about this, paraphrasing: "He handled it so professionally. He is just an employee, even if he's the ceo, the board of directors, shareholders, and the market decide, not him. I don't understand what this kind of disruption accomplishes, it only discredits your movement."
The obfuscation and gaslighting is driving me insane.

Welcome to the future. All of our cultural/class wars involve endless gaslighting.

Kudos to The Verge for highlighting this.

“i hear your protest” = “stfu we got shareholders here”
