But, a business does not make decisions. The people of that organization make the decisions. We must pierce the veil and hold the individuals accountable. Start picketing their house, where they eat, everywhere they go. The folks that care should really be taking lessons from the anti-abortion people picket outside of a physicians home.

Eh... buisnesses are not just collections of people acting in a vacuum, though. The structure of the business drives certain decisions. I'm not saying it's a hive-mind, but pretending a business is just a bunch of individuals is too reductionist. Also, since ActiBlizz is a publicly traded corporation, there are people in that organization that are legally or contractually obligated to make decisions in the best interest of ActiBlizz.

Sure, but at the same time executives in these organizations do have power. Twitter just walked away from that sweet political ad money for ethical reasons, for example. You just have to find the correct arms to twist.

For not allowing a comment on their platform? Really? Go boycott the company. Make sure to make it clear that bad actions will have consequences. But please, do not go bully random people.

  >For not allowing a comment on their platform? Really? Huh, I thought it was obvious to folks as to what people are upset about. It's not about preventing a comment on their platform. And of course they can limit whatever comments they like. I suspect blizz_ack would also not want racist, or other discriminatory language, displayed on their platform. >Go boycott the company. Make sure to make it clear that bad actions will have consequences. It won't work. To make a dent in a company of that size, a significant portion of their user base would need to cease buying products. That simply won't happen. >But please, do not go bully random people. Oh please..these are far from random people. There is no place on this Earth for folks that place greed over the greater good of the people.

>Start picketing their house, where they eat, everywhere they go. This sounds so obnoxious and short-sighted. If I own a business that doesn't align with your values, it's one thing to boycott and protest my business. It's another thing to follow me around to a restaurant, dentist, or park to protest my business decisions. You're disturbing the enjoyment of those places for other people who might have nothing to do with my decisions. I suppose spouses, children and even extended family should have to endure this as well?

  >This sounds so obnoxious and short-sighted. The intent is to be obnoxious. But I'm not seeing how it's short sighted. >If I own a business that doesn't align with your values, it's one thing to boycott and protest my business. It's another thing to follow me around to a restaurant, dentist, or park to protest my business decisions. The size of the organization matters. It's much easier to completely shutdown "Dave's Coffee Shop" after they find out Dave supports the KKK. But to seriously impact a multi-billion dollar company with millions of users would require a large coordinated effort....which is unlikely to occur. So as we've seen in the past, status quo will be maintained. >You're disturbing the enjoyment of those places for other people who might have nothing to do with my decisions. I suppose spouses, children and even extended family should have to endure this as well? If we want results, we must exploit people's weaknesses. You want it to stop? Stop the decisions people are unhappy with. No is forcing these executives to work. Don't like what you're being subjected, and you don't have the power to change it? Then quit!

    It's short-sighted because breaking of mos maiorum for YOUR immediate political gains is how you legitimize the actions of the psychopaths who will break it further for THEIR gains 10 years down the line. Eventually this process gets you to the Saturninuses of your world and the streets run with blood. You, who did not appreciate history, has just repeated it.
