This is obviously wrong. The best way to remedy this is probably to contact TI as a (potential) investor, not complain here. Link: https://investor.ti.com/reso

The contact-us is a box to speak into that would make you feel better that you did something when you hit 'send'. If you think you will achieve anything significant with it, think again. Imagine that _you_ are TI and you receive a couple of messages there. You will think (probably even anticipate) this is clearly the public's reaction to a decision that you thought through, which is not a typo or day-to-day error. So you will thank them for their concern and will carry on with your business! A better remedy would be to publicly shame them about what they just did. TI will still carry on with their business but others will just know better than to engage with TI in the future!

In my experience (from a few large companies) I'm afraid this would accomplish exactly nothing. It is wishful thinking. The only way to reach most companies is to turn up on their PR radar. If something is seen as potentially damaging to their brand your concern will enter the company at a place in the organization which will have a far more direct channel to someone who can make decisions. If you go through their investor feedback channel, unless you own a fair chunk of shares in the company or represent major shareholders, they will ignore you. Of course, if you are a major investor you wouldn't contact them through that channel anyway. You would already have a relationship to someone in, or close to, top management who is responsible for handling major stakeholders.

  You want to get the message through to those who are responsible. Whether it's via the Investor contact or the Press contact doesn't really matter, as long as whoever came up with this decision has to justify it in front of the other executives.
