Two different situations. Google is making a tool designed for immediate oppression. Microsoft is making a tool for a defense force. Of course that defense force has been used immorally in the recent past, but it is a necessity of life and will remain one in perpetuity.

What was so bad about Maven? I only had heard about the part of it using AI to detect bombs being placed in Kabul. It sounded like a great opportunity to protect civillians.

People are currently mad at google for helping to censor Chinese internet more than anything else. That is what I was referring to. I didn't really have anything against project Maven, but then again I wasn't working on it so I don't know it's true scope or goals.
