"Amazon has completely ignored our original and follow-up letters. Google, meanwhile, has repeatedly promised to respond to our questions. Yet more than a year and a half later, we have seen no meaningful action by either company."
"Google's own internal assessments warned of the risks associated with Project Nimbus even before the contract was signed. Major news outlets have reported that Google provides the Israeli government with advanced cloud and AI services under Project Nimbus."
"In such circumstances, waiting for definitive proof is not responsible risk management, it is willful blindness."
In late 2024, Google and Amazon were urged to address human rights risks linked to Project Nimbus, a cloud contract with Israel's Ministry of Defense. Despite evidence of serious risks and internal warnings, both companies have not taken meaningful action. Amazon ignored communications, while Google has not followed through on promises to respond. Microsoft only acted after a public leak revealed misuse of its services by the Israeli government. The lack of action from Google and Amazon reflects a disregard for their human rights commitments.
