STR urges you to boycott the following companies:

America Online - for setting up a dedicated hotline to help police officers seeking AOL subscriber information and for proffering advice about wording subpoenas.

AT&T - for diverting Internet traffic to the National Security Agency and providing phone records to the NSA.

BellSouth - for providing phone records to the NSA.

Citgo - owned by the (far left) Venezuelan government.

FedEx - for enthusiastically supporting Homeland Security.  (Use UPS instead, which says it won't disclose information about its customers' shipments unless required to do so by law or regulation.  It also refused to cooperate with the TIPS program.)

JetBlue Airways - for secretly turning over the personal information of five million of its customers to be used in a federal data mining project.

Levi Strauss - for supporting gun prohibitionists.

MySpace.com - for hiring 20 people to help "law enforcement" subpoena its own customers' private messages and registration information.

Western Union - for sharing information with Treasury and Homeland Security about overseas money transfers.

Verizon - for providing phone records to the NSA.

Yahoo! - for providing the identities of freedom activists to the Chinese government.
