    Guess i’m adding Sony Pictures America (as part of the MPAA) to the boycott list. Forgot about them since I thought they were Japanese.

    And we’ve got NordVPN, Mozilla, Rakuten, and Samsung as part of the CCIA. So they’re out too.

    And then everyone in the CTA. https://members.cta.tech/cta-member-directory

      Horrible to see Mozilla’s name anywhere near a lobbying group that does this. Was actually going to donate a little money to them starting this year.

      Luckily, due to the nature of Firefox forks and Thunderbird, they’re free and can be set to not collect data, etc., so there’s no point to boycotting the software itself.
