Amazon, SpaceX, TwitterX, TeslaX, Uber, Nestlé, Google, Micro$oft

oracle

DeBeers, Blackrock, Exxon, Disney.

DuPont, source of our microplastic nightmare

Autism Speaks. It has a pro-eugenics mindset, so you'd think everyone would be boycotting it, right? Nope, in fact it's partnered with the Jim Henson company.

AT&T and basically all of the major US banks

Bayer-Monsanto, John Deere, Nestle

Microsoft, although regulators sure as fuck help them make that impossible

Ticketmaster

United HealthCare

Oh wait, you CAN'T boycott them. The ultimate monopoly.

Meta, Fox Corporation/News Corp, X

Wells Fargo should’ve been put out of business for mass fraud

As far as which companies "deserve" it, it would be quicker to list the ones that don't.

Most of them, but I'm just tired.

Chick-fil-A

Sorry if this has already been mentioned in the 224 (so far) comments... but another bad guy worth hating is

Hewlett Packard.

Their

"Hey, you need to have our proprietary ink cartrige in your HP inkjet printer plus scanner to print AND to scan as well. The scanner won't work when you are out of ink"

Is just plain fuckery.

Comcast / Xfinity. Have been forced to use their services for years until a viable alternative arrived in my neighborhood, paid $110 a month for internet to be down at least 2 days a month when my wife and I both work from home. All calls and tickets and emails were met with "you're not using out router and we don't see issues on our side, sounds like a you problem".

Almost left for ancient Century Link pipe when internet was out for 17 hours one day, called 3 times and finally got a competent person on the line not saying the above. Instead said they had done maintenance in my neighborhood and when they sent someone out to look at the uplink it was magically working again. Filed for a service refund thing since it was way below the promised availability and I had to reschedule meetings because my hotspot was slow and they gave me a $1.35 refund to my $110 bill that month.

Bro name one that doesn't deserve it.

• Facebook
• Apple
• All of the defence contractors
• Every telecom I've ever used apart from EE and Giffgaff
• YouTube
• Any website that tries to circumvent privacy rules with fuckery
• Governments like the UK that insist prohition is a better alternative to harm reduction but continue to profit from poisons like alcohol.
• Any company that makes devices with proprietary interfaces e.g. WiFi printers, BT routers, Apple in general, Tesla, battery power tool manufacturers.
• The list goes on...

I'm sure I'm formatting this wrong, but..

Edit: trying this out... [email protected]

Every auto maker lobbying against right to repair and every phone maker who remotely accesses people's phones.

In this thread:

Let's boycott the gaming company that we disagree with! Also I guess that company that's using literal child slavery for their chocolate. Quite the disconnect here, I don't think the people making Mario games deserve the same punishment as the people buying up all of the housing market because they can in order to rent out said houses to the same people who were originally trying to buy them

Tencent

Disney

all of them but alas we live in a society

Tobacco and oil companies. All of them.

What's a company that doesnt deserve to be boycotted?

Vanguard, BlackRock, The Coca-Cola Company, PepsiCo, Nestlé, Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle, Twitter/X, any company owned by Elon Musk, pretty much every Big Tech company, Disney, almost any media company, as well as every major bank.

All the major meat producers. And fast food chains.

There's been so much publicized in recent years about their treatment of animals, their lobbying efforts, how they treat their employees, how they're ruining the environment, how they fix prices and force farmers to "get on board" or else. It's really bad but we don't care so much because it's hidden beyond our periphery.

I know no one wants to be told to reduce or complicate doing the things that bring you joy, but reducing your meat consumption and shopping at local producers is something we could all take small steps every year towards doing.
