Boycott Watch is an independent service that
monitors boycott calls for accuracy and honesty. In an era where a boycott call
can be sent over the Internet and be read by millions of people in a matter of
minutes, it is important for consumers to be able to get the full story, and
both sides of the full story, so you can decide for yourself what the truth is.
Boycott Watch is a consumer advocacy organization,
but we do not perform product comparisons or perform any product evaluations.
Our job is to make sure consumers are not tricked into believing lies.
We also work with companies to help prevent boycotts
before they happen via our consulting services. If a company hires Boycott
Watch, they do so with the understanding that Boycott Watch will report the
truth regardless of who hires us. Our investigations are independent and
accurate. We do not bend for convenience.
Investigating Boycotts
Boycott Watch investigates boycotts
so consumers can get the full story from one source and objectively. We do
sometimes give our opinion, but only when we feel the facts are so blatant,
there can be no other conclusion. Example: A boycott may be issued because
bananas are yellow and we discover that indeed, yellow is a common color of
bananas.
Many groups call themselves consumer
watchdogs, some as a cover for an ideological platform. Boycott Watch can
investigate any organizations claims and post the verification in one central
location, our web site, so consumers can read both sides of the story in one
place.
If a boycott has been issued against
your company or product, and you want your side heard, Boycott Watch can help.
We can investigate the claims and post our findings so consumers can get the
entire story. We do charge for our investigations, and we post our results
regardless of what we find and who paid us.
Lets face it. We have to pay the
bills somehow, and we do it with ads. We hope you will click on the ads and
purchase goods and services from our sponsors.
Our ads are from an agency, and
although we do select the products that are advertised on this site, we do not
control when the ads pop up. We try to make sure, to the best of our ability,
that we do not have any direct goods and services ads on a page that discusses
a boycott of those goods or services, but sometimes we may make a mistake.
From time to time, you may see an ad
offering secondary and goods and services from a company discussed on a
particular page. This is totally beyond our control, as we do not monitor every
advertisers offerings.
