Right, so you want us to boycott both Intel and AMD? We're going to have to choose one over the other. Clicking the links show that AMD is giving money to a scholarship, Intel however used the hashtag #blacklivesmatter. You be the judge on what to do.

Yeah, it’s going to have to be nuanced. I ditched Apple Music because they disabled part of a paid service so they could virtue signal. While Spotify blacked-up their selection, they didn’t deny me access to the product, thus I switched to them.

Just do the best you can. There's plenty of other stuff. And let these companies know WHY they're not getting any more of your money.

Just laughing over how many of those companies have terrible ethical practices.

BLM, except in the sweatshops and mines of the developing world.

Very often, boycotting is all the more difficult due to these massive multi-corporate empires. However, boycotting what you can when you can will at least accomplish something. The situation where both sides of a monopolistic coin, Intel and AMD, is untenable sadly. As it was for many years if you wished to boycott Windows or Mac OS. You do what you must, and there can be little else done.

Have you heard of the KosChertified app? I've been using it to know what products to avoid. I'm also letting these companies know why I'm avoiding there kosher products.
