That has always been the essence of the "Free Market", for thee but not for me.

[red_october@lemmy.world]

Boycotts are absolutely legal, you are completely entitled to decide who you don't want to do business with. However, illegality is no longer required for the justice system to be weaponized against you, and President Musk just wants to make an example to others who might not want to do business with an actual Nazi.

50 States, 50 Protests, 1day

Feb 5 @ your downtown.

Oh of course I agree. That's just what the nestle asshole said.

That's good. Boycotts can be effective!

[ryper@lemmy.ca]

The law doesn't matter. With Musk's position in the government this will basically end up as extortion: Settle or we'll make things difficult for you.

Can Elon and Yaccarino just die already

[bieren@lemmy.world]

How dare your company not advertise on my company cause I’m a racist wanna be nazi twat.

[ziltoid1991@lemmy.world]

"Free market" was nothing but a propaganda term...

[vash63@lemmy.world]

"^X .*$"

[hawlsera@lemm.ee]

Yes, sue literally every company in America, nothing could possibly go wrong.

[teft@lemmy.world]

Sounds like it’s time for people to learn regex.

[rusticus@lemm.ee]

Hey Elmo, you told the advertisers to “go fuck yourself” in no uncertain terms, even repeating yourself for dramatic effect.

Hey I’ve got an idea Elmo. Go fuck yourself.

[danc4498@lemmy.world]

Less of a boycott and more of a logical business decision.

[spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Yeah, like the creator of my app for one.

The irony of using one fascist billionaires platform to organize against another fascist billionaire and his platform, but also the government.

[billwashere@lemmy.world]

Can someone explain to me how you can sue over a business choosing to not spend their advertising dollars on a particular service? I mean Elon specifically told his customers to “fuck off” and now he’s suing them?!? I just don’t understand these petulant little man children being so litigious when they get their feefees hurt.

[billwashere@lemmy.world]

Yeah I know. It’s how I got (well forced) to see this story as well. I mean this douchebag is so rage inducing how could you NOT filter him.

[technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Are boycotts illegal?

Yes but it depends on the boycott.

The speech is free. Xitter could advertise for these companies for free. It's the money that's being forced.
