Yes, absolutely. Profiting from servers under genocidal control is literally being materially tied to genocide.
Like I hear what you're saying. I'm on the fuck Israel train as much as everyone but how does them hosting servers in that region support genocide? Are they giving money to the Israeli government? Defending the IDF?
Like there is McDonald's in Israel does that mean McDonald's is complicit in genocide? (I actually don't know if they give money to support Israel but my point is more broad than that and might be a bad example)
Edit: Also for the McD's example I guess they make money off of Israelis but I still posit that is different to a large degree with being complicit in genocide.
yes, it's occupied land, it's not like those servers are in tunnels in Gaza, paying fees to Palestinians
It's the same in many places, and more often than not israel is held up as a special example
