Little history:
Sons of Liberty, organization formed in the American colonies in the summer of 1765 to oppose the Stamp Act. The Sons of Liberty took their name from a speech given in the British Parliament by Isaac Barré in which he referred to the colonials who had opposed unjust British measures as the “sons of liberty.” These guys are not my focus right now 🙂

Much like the Sons of Liberty, the Daughters of Liberty was created in response to unfair British taxation in the colonies during the American Revolution, particularly the Townshend Acts, which were a series of measures that imposed customs duties on imported British goods such as glass, paints, lead, paper and tea.

The Daughters of Liberty didn’t join in on the public protests and riots incited by the Sons of Liberty. Instead, they organized and participated in boycotts and helped manufacture goods when non-importation agreements caused shortages.

When Boston merchants signed a non-importation agreement in which they pledged not to import or sell British goods, this caused a shortage in the colony of specific goods like textiles.

To help ease this shortage, the Daughters of Liberty organized spinning bees to spin yarn and wool into fabric, according to the book The American Revolution: A Concise History:

"Women took to their spinning wheels – what had been a chore for solitary women, spinning wool into yarn, weaving yarn into cloth, now became a public political act. Ninety-two ‘Daughters of Liberty’ brought their wheels to the meeting house in Newport, spending the day spinning together until they produced 170 skeins of yarn. Making and wearing homespun cloth became political acts of resistance."

Since women were the ones who purchased consumer goods for their households, and some of them also ran small shops themselves, their actions had a major impact on British merchants, according to the book Revolutionary Mothers:

“But when the call went out for a boycott of British goods, women became crucial participants in the first organized opposition to British policy. Thus, the first political act of American women was to say ‘No.’ In cities and small towns, women said no to merchants who continued to offer British goods and no to the consumption of those goods, despite their convenience or appeal. Their ‘no’s had an immediate and powerful effect..."

"...In New York City a group of brides-to-be said no to their fiances, putting a public notice in the local newspaper that they would not marry men who applied for a stamped marriage license. Parliament could ignore the assemblies petitions. It could turn a deaf ear to soaring oratory and flights of rhetoric. But Parliament could not withstand the pressures placed on it by English merchants and manufacturers who saw their sales plummet and their warehouses overflow because of the boycott. In March 1766, the Stamp Act was repealed.”

As suggested by one of you before, we should boycott those who persecute us, as the daughters did. Look at how much money the tech giants stand to loose. This is doable. To repeat from above, "women said no to merchants who continued to offer British goods and no to the consumption of those goods, despite their convenience or appeal." Boycotting is the easy part, in my opinion. And, there are a lot of ideas swirling through my mind but, this should be a direct mass message. Delete your accounts to Twitter, Facebook, and Amazon. Use something other than google and it's other services. It's a start.

You make a really good argument, I have not fully severed use of some of these services yet, but I have completely stopped use of YouTube and google as a search engine, I still need a new E-Mail Provider. It’s hard to avoid everything. I think if we had enough pull out from these corrupt companies they would give in quickly.
