I believe that one day boycott will help them reconsider these practices.
- xellisx 7y ago"One day boycott" reads as if the boycott lasts one day and that's it, you are back to normal, using the site, getting tracked. So I don't think I would be too scared if I were a business.
- c0vfefe 7y agoPretty sure they meant "one day a boycott."
- eveningcoffee 7y agoYes, it does not work if it is not coordinated but if significant number of users stops the service at the same time then it will leave sizable tent in the revenue.

- cwbrandsma 7y agoare you talking about boycotting Stackoverflow or Facebook? I could reasonably boycott Facebook, sure. But the day Stackoverflow gets boycotted is the day no code gets written. /s
- Nextgrid 7y agoI know this is sarcasm but I’d like to add something anyway: I don’t know if it’s just experience or if the quality of non-Stackoverflow resources has increased but I find myself needing it less and less in the past couple years.
- robertAngst 7y agoI see this as 2 options- >If you don't like Facebook, get rid of it. I have. And I still have friends. >Let Facebook advertise really specific to you. Weirdly specific, it might be useful. * *might get blackmailed later if you were doing socially unacceptable things. But you could not participate in Facebook, the same company you are trying to avoid.
- JohnFen 7y ago> But you could not participate in Facebook That doesn't stop Facebook from tracking you, though. It only makes the tracking a bit coarser.
