Next after Godaddy, is it time to boycott other giants for supporting SOPA?
We made a difference with the anti-SOPA campaign for Godaddy ... but we still have a long line of other giants that supports SOPA, such as: Apple, TimeWarner, Sony, Adobe.
Are we going to now stop the anti-SOPA and be satisfied with just the result of Godaddy stepping down .... ? or do we move on to the next?
- jamesbritt 15y agoThat would be the right thing to do, but GoDaddy was low-hanging fruit. It was just too easy to hate on them (albeit deservedly so) and to take action. I applaud those who did so (I'm one of them) but in fact it was not a tremendous sacrifice. I don't, however, ever expect to see Cory Doctorow calling for a boycott of Disney, or John Gruber starting an Apple boycott. I think these companies would have to start executing people in the street before their fans would speak up. I'm still surprised at the love Sony products still get from geeks who should know better, given Sony's abhorrent behavior. This tells me that getting a boycott of tech or media companies that still make things geeks think are cool will be an uphill battle.
