A mass email sent by a Microsoft employee appears to have gotten around a block on words like “Palestine” and “Gaza” that the company put in place earlier this week.

When workers send emails including words related to Israel’s war on Gaza, messages are delayed by hours or never arrive at all.

Microsoft employees have realised that emails sent within or from the company account that contain words like “Gaza” and “Palestine” have been blocked after a series of proteststors interrupted the company’s flagship Build event on Tuesday.
