Go ahead and call 1-800-667-6389. Then press one. I did.

They will act clueless but when they are talking to you they will not be trying to harm some innocent person by selling them tainted bait.

Only if that flare gun is a peripheral for an AR-15.

‘Salesforce Customer service:
1 (800) 667-6389’

Thanks, we may have A LOT of questions to ask them, beginning with which specific models and years are affected, does this relate to hand guns in any ways, maybe paintballs [with detachable stock], perhaps other weapons.

No doubt we’ll be quite busy asking for clarification, as we’d hate to violate their Terms of Service.

Reading the tea leaves, I assume anyone who doesn’t own an AR 15 at this point in time, doesn’t wont to.

Salesforce just decided to reduce their business. Many software programs out there.

My my. I must assume these cretins do the same to any customer selling dangerous stuff - tobacco, alcohol, knives, etc.

That won’t end well. Hopefully they receive meaningful objections and not death threats, which don’t help the cause.

It was a matter of time before something lime this happened, though. Credit card companies were starting to make threats, and large tech companies will continue to pull stunts like this. All the businesses can do is switch their software until they find one that won’t threaten their livelihood.

Salesfarce will soon be begging them to come back. I hope the retailers know how to curse.

I haven’t checked, but Salesforce CRM may even be a subscription model

I think you're correct ... SAAS ... software as a service ... runs in the "cloud" ... which is nothing more than someone else's computer ... and management falls for this crap ... over ... and over ... and over again ... suckers ...

Isn’t corporate political side taking actually worse than thugs confronting people in restaurants? Nauseating and aggravating.

And dangerous to us good people.

Yet another large corporation asserting fascist totalitarian powers to dictate behavior to the public and backing it up with some harmful sanctions.

Appropriate responses go well beyond boycotts and other "free-market" activities. Expressly political retaliation is called for, including punitive legislation, adverse enforcement of regulations, and other things more severe.

Once corporate executives tear down rule-of-law in favor of ideological coercion, they can expect no further protection from any law.

Very, very, expensive ... and risky ...

Republicans need to pass federal legislation that it is illegal to target business that you don’t like and exclude your product from those companies, like this idiot software company. and like banks who did the same thing with gun retailers

These retailers, selling guns, are engaging in a legal business and these suppliers should not have a right to withhold their services. Even the cake baker did not attempt to withhold his services of baking a cake, he refused to make an endorsement of gay marriage on the cake. Okay banks and software companies, suppliers, do not need to endorse the gun retailer but should be compelled to provide the service.

This will require expressly political retaliation. And some large corporations must be bankrupted as a consequence "pour encourager les autres".

A difficult project to be sure. We are going to have to do it.

Of course they can. It’s a private company. Just like if I was a business owner, I could choose not to sell supplies to abortion clinics. And that would be my legal rights. I don’t agree with their stance, but this is still America. You should not be forced to do business with someone you don’t want to do business with

Is it a requirement that people living and working in San Francisco have a mandatory Stupid Pill prescription?

So then, by that logic, you would force my business to do business with an abortion clinic?
