What could your minor act of resistance be today?
Set your default search engine to Ecosia, and divert some advertisement income away from Google, to Europe and plant some trees while you are at it!
It's a Europe based search engine company (I know, they still use American search indices...).

Here's a nice list if you are looking for alternatives for #bigtech products.
It is a project in development, read about the 'why' on:

Switching away from big tech not only makes you more technologically independent from these increasingly unreliable companies, it also breaks their monopolies and with that puts power back in your own hands.

Interesting website giving Fortune 100 companies a grade for how they are treating democratic values. Some surprise entries (for me at least), like Tesla getting a B, and Alphabet (Google) getting an F...
Remember that the dollars they spend on lobbying are the dollars you put in these companies. By informing yourself and being an #activistconsumer you can nudge the world in your direction.

Worldwide consumer actions against #SwastiCar are going well, with stock prices of the brand plummeting over 25% in the last month turning the #us president in a car salesman in a desperate act to try and increase sales.
However the message unfortunately still doesn't come across. In a recent interview #musk still says he thinks he is doing the right thing, so I guess it's still #workinprogress

In the Netherlands today has become the national 'transfer day' #overstapdag. In other words: people are taking time today to leave WhatsApp and move towards Signal due to their concerns in relation to #privacy and the ongoing influence that #bigtech is having on #politics in the #usa.
Will you make the change?

Angry at the #tariff threats of their southern neighbour, the #buycanadian movement is still going strong. Canadians sharing lists of Canadian alternatives to American products, and are cancelling trips to the #usa. Both already are showing some impact on US economy, #consumeractivism is effective.
I think there is a bigger opportunity here in general to start to #buylocal and support your local economy, also for non Canadians...

Consumer opinion matters, and consumer action even more: #swasticar stock has been plummeting the past few days, in part due to lower sales in key regions and consumer opinion about the brand.
Let's keep spreading our opinion then!

Target web storefront: charges me sales tax on a "Target Plus" (i.e., 3rd-party selling through their platform) grocery order (groceries are tax-free where I live)
Me: Notices and complains via chat immediately after placing order
Target: [After making me wait like a half hour] We can't do anything until the order is invoiced
Me: Complains again via chat after order is delivered
Target: I've forwarded it to our tax team, maybe they'll get back to you eventually 🤷
Me: 😡

Why is PayPal still so incredibly awful?
Even if you jump through all of PayPal's hoops and give them all the information they ask for when creating an account, they may still decide to arbitrarily lock you out of your account and never restore your access. #PayPal #LiberaPay #Charity #ComputerSecurity #infosec #ConsumerActivism #fraud

The major credit reporting agencies are all still dumpster fires
I tried to dispute incorrect information. The process didn't fully work at any of the agencies. I was eventually able to dispute all of the incorrect information at one, but I was unable to dispute some or all at two others and eventually gave up. The credit reporting agencies are terrible.
