Except Costco and Arizona Tea
Welcome to Costco, I love you.
Alphabet and Meta.
They have a stranglehold on the internet that should never have been allowed to develop in the first place.
But reading the other replies I guess my kneejerk reaction is a bit egocentric. Surely others are more important because they fuck up people's lives directly, not just via the internet.
Church.
Oil companies dude , shit ruined the environment so many times and never even aaid sorry nor attempt to clean up their mess
I wanted to say Meta but reading things like Nestlé reminded me there are other companies that are equally as bad.
Now I wonder if Nestlé can be considered more evil than Meta because Meta influences the population on such a low level that it affects everyone.
Thanks to those fuckheads at Meta (not the devs trying to make a living) Any developed country went so far right it's almost unbelievable how fast it turned.
Microsoft, Nestle, Alphabet, meta, all Elmo musk companies, Oracle, Rogers, Disney, all AI companies, all private equity companies, all gambling companies, all US health care insurrection companies
Not necessarily in order, just pick any
Elmo musk
Good one.
I'm deleting Palantir, I think. I want Peter Thiel and his toxic ideology gone, and deleting Palantir's data and software would meaningfully set back the timeline of unlawful surveillance of the American public by our current administration.
Meta
Blackrock.
Yes.
Chiquita and Dole basically started American military backed wars in south and Central American to exploit the land to grow fruits.
Purdue Pharma and the entire Sackler family. I've witnessed so many horrible things done by Oxycontin-addicted people; knowing that history, I want to puke my guts out.

Microsoft...
Embrace Extend and Extinguish is a masterpeace idea created by them.
Lots of Lobbyism and political people working for Microsoft managed to change an entire city to switch the OS even though everyone was for keeping it how it is. Additionally sending government emails to places to enforce the usage of Windows, while in reality, those were people working for Microsoft and abusing their Political email address.
They are so fucked up on the capitalism game. Also MSN is a huge lie because it only> exists for Propaganda... but its like every news page tbh...n
Dow chemical; lack of progress be damned, not being poisoned en masse would be amazing for the human race. Honestly nestle would have been my first choice but you got me thinking.
