What a crock of shit! I don’t care if people boycott but I certainly hope they have an understanding of how ineffective that could be.

There needs to be regulatory change. AWS and Azure have an outsized influence on the modern internet and technology sector because of how massive and widespread they are. Roughly 8% of all global internet traffic runs through AWS, Azure and Google Cloud services. You can toss Cloudflare in there too.

What I’m saying is that we need to have our representatives at a political/governmental level actually represent the people and it needs to happen globally.

Look at the improvements driven by regulatory change in the EU and imagine if that regulatory change effectively happened at a global level.

For Amazon specifically look at what Mandan is doing to hold them accountable in New York City.

Boycotts generally hurt a companies reputation more than their bottom line financially, but when dealing with a company that doesn’t care about their reputation or ones owned by billionaires that also own news media and/or social media platforms, they shape the narrative to their own benefit.

What is your agenda in arguing for boycotts and against regulatory change?
