As with everything, there's nuance.
> Organize yourselves to vote with your wallet? Illegal!
Individuals voting with their wallet together? Legal. Companies voting with their wallet together? Illegal.
Companies are not individuals. Companies have lots of restrictions on working together, so that they keep competing.
- ceejayoz 2y ago> Companies voting with their wallet together? Illegal. Companies being told to "go fuck yourselves" by Twitter's CEO and complying? Legal.
- orwin 2y agoSorry, I should have added nuance : illegal for unions and non-profits, mostly immoral for individuals, the only moral and legal boycott is BUD is what I learned from USians.
- throw310822 2y agoThe problem here- if I understand correctly- is not that companies were voting with their wallets, even together. The problem is that they were willing to do it only as long as all the others were doing the same. Some companies standing by their principles, and willing to pay the price for it, is one thing. Making sure that nobody else benefits from the space you leave is another.
