This bullshit needs to STOP. These companies, which are monopolistic public utilities, cannot continue to deplatform people. Especially in such a politically obvious biased method.
Actions we can take:
STOP BUYING FROM AMAZON
Many of you probably buy Amazon gift cards and give them to friends / family for X-mas This is so bad. Not only does it give Amazon money, but it refers to Amazon a new customer, so they get a new lifetime stream of money from the new customer.
Give people gift cards for competing platforms For example, this year I will probably give gift cards to jet.com. They offer free 2 day shipping on most goods without requiring a "prime membership".
This has two effects 1) Direct money to a competitors 2) The receiver of the gift card will be forced to use Jet.com to use the gift card. As a result, they may spend more money on jet.com even after they use the gift card. Getting customers to create an account on a new platform is the hardest part and the gift card solves it.
If we all work together, we can make a serious impact. Btw, this is not about jet.com. Pick any competing platform in whatever category of products concerns you.
Actions we can take:
- Contact representatives. Many states are looking to regulate / break up these companies due to publicity.
- Stop doing business with these companies
