Intel, Siemens and actor Gillian Anderson previously said they were withdrawingGoogle and Facebook-owner Meta have become the latest tech giants to withdraw from this year's Web Summit, following comments made by chief executive Paddy Cosgrave on the Israel-Hamas conflict. Google was one of the event's sponsors, while Nick Clegg, Facebook's president of global affairs, was due to speak at the Lisbon event.

Workers United, which said workers tweeted the message without union authorization, countersued Starbucks for defamation.

It's so easy to keep your mouth shut about this shit. But these egomaniacs are so desperate for attention they want to inject themselves into the conversation.
A few tweets of "solidarity" will not change the geopolitical policies of dealing with desert people, nor will they stop fighting for the next thousand years.
