    At the same time, backlash is usually an efficient way to force companies to change course

    I have serious doubt about that.

    Look at facebook, Cambridge analytica, leaks of ton of personal data, again and again, political ingerence, hate content.

    I can’t remember how many times they said ‘whooops my bad, won’t happen again’, ‘oooooh again?! Hahaha whooopsy’

    And suckerberg ils still there.

      Hehe yeah, like I wrote myself: it probably won’t make a difference, but at least I tried.
      If every customer they have did the same, they might revert, but most people don’t care I guess.

      Next step is a boycott and then I sleep better at night.
