Stop giving Amazon money.
- andrepd 6y agoAlready doing that. Unfortunately it's not so simple. We can't expect The Market to solve everything.
- the_other 6y agoI'm not a free market capitalist, so I'm surprised I"m about to write this... but we should try to get The Market to solve this. If those of us who're privacy conscious stopped paying Amazon money, we could use that money to create/buy privacy-focused alternatives. I'm not talking about Amazon the shop (although that's a good avenue of attack too), I'm talking about AWS. Stop using AWS. Loudly take your money to another cloud supplier. Amazon competes on volume, so remove the volume. Leave them with warehouses of redundant servers until they have to sell them off. And then buy one.
- noncoml 6y agoStop giving Amazon money. Don’t buy stuff from eBay. Don’t use Google, Gmail, Chrome. Don’t give Comcast your business. Don’t use Windows. Avoid Apple and their predatory App Store fees. Don’t buy stuff from Walmart. Don’t give Sony your money. And the list goes on.. You see where I am going? This will never work. David cannot win over Goliath every single time. That’s why we need another giant, the government, to fight for us. But we don’t want the government to interfere with capitalism, do we? We want to have our pie and eat it too.
