Scott Galloway: How to Hit Trump Where it Hurts (Unsubscribe) — On with Kara Swisher

Scott Galloway is spearheading a consumer-led protest movement with a simple goal: to get people to cancel their subscriptions to tech companies that have disproportionate influence over the U.S. economy. The New York University marketing professor and Kara’s “Pivot” co-host says targeting the companies that dominate the stock market — and by extension many of the CEOs who’ve cozied up to President Trump — is an easy way to pressure an administration that doesn’t respond to citizen outrage or media criticism. Kara and Scott talk about his goals for the Resist and Unsubscribe campaign, how he came up with a list of companies worth targeting, and the outsized impact unsubscribing can have on a tech company’s market capitalization. They also talk about the potential to extend the Resist and Unsubscribe boycott beyond February. Questions? Comments?

🚨🚨🚨Resist and Unsubscribe🚨🚨🚨

Americans are feeling powerless to thwart the Trump administration’s assault on our nation’s values.

Praised by tech CEOs, surrounded by sycophants, and enriched by his return to the White House, the president’s actions march on unchecked.

Americans, however, have a powerful weapon that has been hiding in plain sight.

"Democracies don't die suddenly; rather, their opponents are normalized step by step by simply being there, simply tolerated, contributing their viewpoints, and shifting the window of what can be said.

And then the abolition of democracy seems like a small, tiny step in a logical chain.

And we must not allow that."

- M. Weisband @afelia

An the last quote from Carole Cadwalladr's TED talk "This is what a digital coup looks like":

I chose to come back to TED because I'm reclaiming my story, my words.

We are not powerless.

The 30,000 people who supported me proved that – we ar not powerless.
Because we know who we are, and we know what we stand for.

And my question to Silicon Valley is, do you?

Carole Cadwalladr: This is what a digital coup looks like

TED
Carole Cadwalladr:

Sam Altman, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk. Your are not gods. You are men, and you are careless.

You think that by allying yourself with an autocrat you will be protected. That's not how history works. It's not even how oligarchy works.

[…]

You are sucking up to a tuyrant who is trying to destroy the laws who made your businesses possible.

You are collaborators.

You are complicit in a regime of fear and cruelty.

Don't experiment on children

And in years to come,  allowing your child to be data-harvested from birth will be considered child abuse.

You didn't know, but now you do.

Privacy is power.
