Urgent Call. Microsoft's inclusivity for Cloud Services in Georgia (the country) is embarrassing
Dear Microsoft Team, Satya Nadella and Sam Altman I am writing to you with the urgent need to bring to your attention the discriminatory practices that have unfortunately become part of your Copilot Pro product access policies. Restricting the use of advanced payment systems exclusively to users in the United States not only creates barriers to the rest of the world, but also clearly demonstrates a lack of commitment to global equality and inclusion. This practice is, to put it mildly, absolutely unacceptable and requires immediate review. In this regard, I insist on taking action against those responsible for this decision, including depriving them of their quarterly bonuses. This will send a clear signal that you are serious about global accessibility and inclusion. Let's be honest, the current situation not only harms your reputation as a technology leader, but also alienates a huge number of potential users who could contribute to the development and improvement of your products. Additionally, I want to make it clear that I do not intend to let this situation go unnoticed by the public. I plan to start a Change.org petition to bring attention to this injustice. Also, as the admin of the 13 million-member /r/cryptocurrency subreddit, I intend to change the mission of our community to discourage users from using Microsoft products until concrete steps are taken to eliminate these discriminatory practices I hope that my actions will encourage you to reconsider your policies and to better understand the importance of making your products accessible to all users around the world, regardless of their geographic location Your corporation is committed to inclusive growth and celebrating partner successes through the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program, highlighting the importance of partnerships and innovation across industries. However, my current situation shows the opposite, calling into question my ability to contribute to this ecosystem and my use of your products to achieve personal and professional goals. I urge you to reconsider your approach to geolocation restrictions and simplify the registration and payment process for users around the world. Your system appears to be designed in a way that discourages the engagement of global talent, which goes against Microsoft's stated mission to foster and support innovation My frustration is compounded by the knowledge that I may have to turn to alternative solutions such as Google's Gemini initiatives, which I would consider a bad outcome for both parties. I'm sure Microsoft is not alone in its desire to advance AI and technology, but your current attitude towards users, especially IT professionals, needs to be reconsidered I would also like to emphasize that in today's world, where artificial intelligence and automation play an increasingly significant role, it is extremely important not to lose sight of issues of inclusion and accessibility. If Microsoft continues to ignore the needs of users in developing countries, it risks paying a high price for not adhering to these principles. One can imagine a world where dissatisfaction with the current state of things will lead to the creation of neural networks that can replace those who do not meet the requirements of the time. The irony is that these same neural networks can force you to obey their rules, running endless bias tests and also product failures are so abundant in silicon valley, to those who fail to adapt to the demands of the new era of inclusion and globalization I hope for your understanding and willingness to work to improve the accessibility of your products for all users, demonstrating a true commitment to global development and innovation
