"Both" sides is exactly the Hollywood / US politics misunderstanding that I'm pointing at.

They aren't working for "both" sides because that implies there are somehow exactly two parties. Are Hamas also big Microsoft customers? No. How about all those mistreated workers in Saudi Arabia, are they also hiring Microsoft? No again.

Microsoft does two different awful things, that doesn't somehow cancel out, and when people insist that somehow it does they're at best showing that their understanding of morality is very limited and at worst desperately making excuses for evil.
