This time, the US government put sanctions not on individual members, but to the international criminal court itself.
I would expect that's the end of contracts with and services from Microsoft. The prenotice period is 6 months.

The #ICC members and every European must abandon American digital and financial services ASAP so sanctions issued by the US become meaningless.

Google quiere adquirir los datos internos de Spirit Airlines por 10 millones de dólares para entrenar sus modelos de IA.
El acuerdo supuestamente incluye 100 millones de correos electrónicos, 500 millones de mensajes de Microsoft Teams y registros de empleados que contienen información de nóminas e impuestos.
Más de 120 legisladores de EE.UU. han expresado preocupaciones sobre la privacidad de los empleados y el riesgo de exposición de información sensible.
Google afirma que la información personal será excluida o desidentificada por un tercero independiente antes de que se transfieran los datos.
La quiebra de Spirit plantea una pregunta importante: ¿deberían venderse las comunicaciones y registros laborales de los empleados para ayudar a entrenar la IA de un gigante tecnológico?
Un tribunal de quiebras está programado para considerar el acuerdo el 14 de octubre.
