It is not mean to tell people don't work for Facebook or nestle which makes money through Shenanigans. Politicians don't do anything against Facebook as they have lot of wealth to lobby politicians. As long as intelligent people are going to support mammoth corporation like Facebook what can we normal people say?

I don't know if it applies for majority of people but in my social circle we treat palantir with stigma and actively tell people not to work for them. So, is it really mean to tell that? What can normal people do ? Telling people not work will help society in long run and also signals advertisers, consumers not to use their product:) It is similar to why USA has banned companies to not use any kind of cotton produced from xiangxinag although they might not personally know if that company is in mortgage and can afford to survive if they don't use cotton from china?
