WASHINGTON: Meta and Google have pulled out of the Web Summit, one of the tech sector's biggest annual events, after the organiser criticised Israel's actions following the Hamas attacks, the companies said on Friday (Oct 20).
A spokesman for Meta confirmed to AFP that it would not take part in this year's event, with Google telling the Irish Independent that it too would not be making the trip to Lisbon.
"War crimes are war crimes even when committed by allies, and should be called out for what they are," Cosgrave wrote on Oct 13. Israel says around 1,500 Hamas fighters were killed in clashes before its army regained control of the area under attack. The Web Summit is due to host some 2,300 startups and more than 70,000 people on Nov 13 to Nov 16 in Lisbon.
