I'm getting a bit sick of large corporations a) demanding excess data as a condition of doing business with me, b) allowing it to be stolen, and c) giving zero fucks about it.

What are some things that us netizens can do to make our displeasure known.

Extra points for funny ideas.

I think the most effective method is to do some sort of organized boycott. We all know well enough how sheisty these companies are. Time to start encouraging each other to quit them en masse.

To bad that most participants give in and return shortly after leaving.

me explaining how evil Nestle is every time a family member buys a product, them agreeing that's the most evil thing they've ever heard, and then doing it all over again next week ...
