Do you think it would be possible (and how could we get it done?) to unite millions of people who collectively agree to target an individual company for a short time unless the company meets our demands? For example, for the month of March we all pledge to not purchase anything from Apple unless Apple does XYZ… Either they do it, or we tank their stock… Move on to the next company target

    Conservatives and complacent people use Apple products. Nice idea though.

      Sure, but i bet the news of a 10 million people saying they’re going to boycott would still hurt their stock price

        I doubt it but I don’t really care since I already own zero Apple products.

            Really? How can I MORE boycott them than I already do?

            I don’t think you actually understand just how much money Apple has. They shrug off billion dollar fines like ducks shrug off water. I think the idea only works if it’s a significant portion of their revenues.

              It’s not about the actual boycott… It’s about the threat of millions of people boycotting dropping the stock price… And Apple was just an example, could start with an easier target
