Resist and Unsubscribe launches 30-day tech and AI subscription boycott

Resist and Unsubscribe has launched a 30-day economic strike against major tech/AI firms—Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Paramount+, Uber, Netflix, X, Meta, and OpenAI—along with consumer-facing firms seen as ICE enablers, in protest of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. Participants are urged to unsubscribe from paid services in February, refrain from buying Apple hardware through March, and delete Meta platforms while using Instagram to spread the message without ads. The organizers say the aim is to press policymakers and corporate leaders by signaling through economic activity, noting the tech sector’s political influence; Gizmodo sought comment.
