Maybe it’s about time we have a database of business connections e.g who owns what / what is owned by whom, which companies work together and what their relationships are, where the businesses are headquartered and spread out across the globe, etc.

It doesn’t have to have any agenda, just that data. However it could be used to then have a “boycott” app or something. “I want to boycott FAANG, their subsidiaries, and whichever other companies are owned by their CEOs”. With the app, that should be a simple ask. Or simply “I want to boycott anything Nestlé”.

There are boycott apps out there already. Haven’t tried them all to see if they offer what you’re looking for, but they are out there.

Edit: Boycott for Peace is one

I haven’t found any that’s opensource and has a open database with an explanation of how it’s augmented / sources for the stuff in the DB. That leads me to question the app or its DB. What if they were paid to exclude a relationship or company entirely? Crazier things have happened.

So the solution is to not use the app and hope other people make one you approve of?
