I am not so sure. It creats activity, being passive is worse. We should encourage all type of protests, even petitions.

There are already some movements, like #Keep Android Open that ask to contact local regulators and law makers, this petition is useful to have a concrete number of people that agree and that can be used officially

Companies have reversed unpopular decisions in the past (just saw a thing about Facebook reversing some AI thing). So there may be some possible chance of them reversing this decision. I'm not hopeful but the cost is cheap, and it has a better chance of success than doing nothing

I agree. Doesn't do anything it would be better to get people to buy stock in the company and vote on what you want. Get enough people and you can make change.

But that process is also.... Gross. And expensive.
