Consumers are more inclined to boycott businesses than ever. Reasons for boycotts are numerous. Boycotters might accuse companies of being racist, unpatriotic, anti-family, anti-LGBTQ or politically wrong-headed.
They sometimes base their charges on false information. Most recently, businesses have become boycott targets because they or their CEOs, support – or at least allegedly support — President Trump.
Calls for a boycott of Olive Garden recently spread on Twitter after tweets claimed the restaurant chain donated to Trump’s re-election campaign. The company responded promptly to correct the misinformation.
