Americans To Hit Tech CEOs Where It Hurts: Cancel Netflix For A Month
KEY POINTS
- •Thousands protested against ICE policies in Minneapolis on January 31, amid heightened tensions following recent shootings involving federal immigration agents.
- •Small business owners faced difficult choices during the nationwide strike, balancing support for the cause with the risk of lost revenue and staff layoffs.
- •Scott Galloway proposed a month-long boycott in February targeting major tech services like ChatGPT, Prime Video, and Microsoft Office to economically pressure CEOs close to the Trump administration.
On January 31, thousands protested ICE in Minneapolis, while small business owners agonized over losing revenue to join the strike. Enter marketing professor Scott Galloway, who suggests a gentler economic nuke: ditch OpenAI's ChatGPT, Amazon Prime Video, and Microsoft Office all February to spite Trump-friendly tech CEOs cozying up with the White House. Yes, a ‘one-month slump’ in subscriptions is supposedly more terrifying to political overlords than a noisy one-day protest. Meanwhile, ICE quietly expands warrantless search powers, America marches on, and small business owners keep apologizing for earning rent as protesters carry signs. Nothing says solidarity like canceled streaming.
