    Doing evil shit should have a social cost. We need to be boycotting and generally making the life difficult for any canadian company profiteering from trumpist fascism.

      Exactly. If I shoplift a chocolate bar they will note it and I will eventually be called to court. But if they do shit that ruins cocoa production in West Africa they will still get their massive bonuses year end.

        Well they have an address on Wikipedia. Maybe if I was in Vancouver I’d go to all the coffeeshops in walking distance and ask the owners of they’d be up for putting up a poster saying Hootsuite supports ICE on the window. Maybe their suppliers want to know. Maybe their cleaners? Their landscapers? Costs can also be indirect…

    “ICE is using social listening not to amplify one political aisle, but to better understand how they’re perceived; especially by audiences who may distrust them. They want to listen, build trust, and communicate more effectively as an agency that serves all Americans,”

    LOL “distrust” is way too mild. More like abhor, hate, loathe… any acronym for hate would do.

      You ever read a lie so brazen that you know for a fact the person that wrote it knew it sounded absurd and ran with it anyway?

    Does anyone know if there will be a protest outside their offices? Seems like something we can do as Canadians to help.
