MAGA Website Backfires: Critics Use It to Boycott Businesses
PublicSquare, a website promoting businesses aligned with Donald Trump’s ideology, has ironically become a tool for boycotts. A Reddit user, leveraging his knowledge of the site gained from prior employment, shared information about PublicSquare, enabling users to identify and avoid businesses supporting Trump. This strategy quickly gained traction across various online platforms, with users utilizing PublicSquare to inform their purchasing decisions, highlighting the power of consumer activism. The unintended consequence has seen PublicSquare’s stock price plummet, though a direct causal link remains unconfirmed.
