This is precisely the opposite of true. Boycotts almost never have any effect; the impossible coordination problem they impose is why we need governments and regulation instead.
- rocqua 9y agoBoycotts, kind of like protests, show to the government that people care. Specifically, it shows the people care enough to actually take action that takes effort. That is a rather high level of caring. So, it seems to me that boycots (and protests) are important for convincing regulators something is an issue.
