"individually we need to stop working for unethical companies"

Has there been a single case in history where this worked? has this been an issue for drug gangs, mafia, loan sharks, tobacco, alcohol or gun companies or any kind of evil organisation, ever? If not, maybe we should stop parroting it?

it is easier to come up with manageable solutions when you don't try to conflate the mafia with a search engine, or Beretta with a social network

don't search for a one-size-fits-all solution or it will seem impossible; focus on one at a time

The solution proposed fits nothing, as far as I can tell you might as well try exorcism.
