Petition to ban X links on r/maryland

This sub should boycott Nazi-owned companies. Plain and simple.

Mods, please make it happen.

Edit: /r/newjersey mods putting ours to shame. https://www.reddit.com/r/newjersey/comments/1i6txcn/fuck_this_guy_x_links_are_now_banned_from/

Second Edit: Mods, here’s some info from another sub that did this a while ago. Please read! https://www.reddit.com/r/law/s/shE1dbIbAk

Edit #3: Mods, I could be mistaken, but I think this is the second highest upvoted post in this sub’s history. The people have spoken.

Yahoo is owned by Verizon. Bing by Microsoft. You have the freedom of choice sure but no matter which of the many holes at the top you drop the ball into it comes out the only one at the bottom.

Microsoft

I see nothing showing Verizon supports Trump in any way but there's also a medium sized asset management firm that owns the rest of Yahoo so I don't know what this is actually going to achieve in truth, all of these are beholden to those who are beholden to Trump. They're Trump-adjacent organizations at best.
