Google and Amazon secretly built a signal system in their $1.2B Israel cloud deal to alert Israel of foreign data requests, even under secrecy orders.
Google and Amazon agreed to a secret "winking mechanism" in their 2021 $1.2 billion Project Nimbus deal with Israel, allowing them to discreetly alert the Israeli government when foreign courts request data, even under gag orders.
The system uses coded payments tied to country codes to signal which nation made the request, with larger payments triggered if disclosure is blocked.
The agreement grants Israel unrestricted access to cloud and AI services, including for military and security use, without the companies able to restrict access even if terms of service are violated.
Legal disputes are limited to England and Wales, and both companies declined to confirm use of the mechanism, citing compliance with laws.
