Azure, AWS or other cloud vendors don’t do politics or social media per se. It’s really about running stuff, like virtual machines, database and apps on their hardware instead of your own. So I don’t think Azure can be tied in to FaceBook, Twitter or even Google Search.

Microsoft Azure also has a separate Government segment. It can be used by US DoD, Fed, state and locals govs but it does not interact with commercial Internet side. It’s isolated for security reasons, not politics or social media.

The separate Azure China realm is similar to Azure Government.

But sure enough, Microsoft is full of SJWs and would repress or silence conservatives in a heartbeat. I KNOW. It’s happened to me. I worked/contract for them. I’m from Alabama. You should hear the grief I get every time I’m in Redmond. The only people you can be socially crass and prejudice to are Southerners.

In their numerous cafeterias, every TV blares MSNBC like CNN at airports...

If they knew I was a FReeper and Trump supporter I’d probably lose my contracts, no bull.

I don't doubt that. I'll bet they view you as a pork rind eating hillbilly, and don't think twice about the stereotyping...those people are pretty blind when it comes to seeing their faults on their own backs...

Anyway, thanks for the clarification. Interestingly, I am very squeamish about companies like Amazon and Google running cloud services that our intelligence communities depend on...that makes me very nervous.
