During a commencement speech at Stanford University, Google CEO Sundar Pichai was met with a walkout and boos from approximately 200 students. The protest, organized by campus activist groups, targeted Google's involvement in Project Nimbus—a cloud and AI services contract with the Israeli military—and its professional ties to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Demonstrators displayed signs and chanted slogans, citing their refusal to support corporations they believe facilitate violence.
