I’m getting a bit sick of large corporations a) demanding excess data as a condition of doing business with me, b) allowing it to be stolen, and c) giving zero fucks about it.

What are some things that us netizens can do to make our displeasure known.

Extra points for funny ideas.

      I don’t get many of them anymore, but when I do, I mail them back with a little slip of paper inside that says “poop”.

        First class letter mail is up to 3.5 oz and within a certain l thickness. Every ounce costs extra over the first oz (idk about commercial return mail pricing) just stuff it with flat cardboard from cereal boxes or fill out the information wrong and put in a competitors corporate address.

        I tried the brick once long ago. 1) No way to verif it works (not just PO’s the P.O. 2) That kind of shit may be why so many public POBoxes have been removed. 3) The was of paper (up to 3.5 oz?) -seems- to have worked.
