Every protest we praise in history broke the law at some point.
“Promote company-hating propaganda” is an interesting way to describe what happened.

Building a website on internal Microsoft infra that ledes with a picture of "Azure Kills Kids" is beyond the pale.
Killing kids is not beyond the pale, building a website criticizing is.
Saying what has happened is worse than it happening? American missiles kill kids, and so does intelligence and support systems they use to do so.
I'm not sure you know what "beyond the pale" means. You probably shouldn't look into the history of the suffragette or civil rights movements, for your own sanity.
How can it be “beyond the pale” when it is quite literally true?
That’s a pretty low bar for “beyond the pale.” Company PR isn’t some sacred thing and these people paid a hefty price for their protest. They should be praised for their bravery even if you disagree with their message.
I make no comment on their message but you cannot use company resources to do it and not expect consequences.
Sorry if that is unclear.
This is a fireable offense in nearly every company handbook in existence.

I think laws enforced by the government are a difference in kind from social standards or company rules.
Laws are backed by legal, physical violence.
