Boycotts

43 readers
30 users here now

Using your consumer power to refuse to feed the profits of adversaries of humanity. Marketplace baddies who cause disproportionate harm to the planet or people.

Who to boycott, why they are being boycotted (or why you personally boycott them), and how to boycott them (if it’s not obvious).

Also welcome: discussion on how to organize and track your boycotts. E.g. whether it’s a special tool or app, or whether it’s a series of text files to GREP.

I have the No Thanks app on my phone. This is a good reminder to use it.

Has Google reversed their position since then? Has the app been restored?

I am boycotting Israel for life, and also since long before 2023. And I already boycott Google¹ as well. So for me it’s relevant unless Google actually reversed their stance and took remedial action (which would not affect my boycott either way but it would affect the newsworthiness).

¹ I’m not intent on boycotting Google for life, but it will likely be for life because Google is unlikely to cease to be a surveillance advertiser who collects data from unwilling non-users.

Yes, I downloaded the app a few months ago and here is a screenshot from today
