How big a deal is this?

How many retailers who sell AR 15s use Salesforce?

What percent of the total is that?

This is a real problem. But can’t be addressed via normal boycott.

Probably lots of Freepers use Salesforce in some capacity as part of their job - and may not even realize it. But likely zero or less of us have any say about it. The vast, vast majority of SF users did not buy Salesforce. Insulated and politically correct execs at large corporations did.

Now you know what Trump feels like. You are up against the free market’s quickly deepening swamp.

Salesforce is a powerful tool for sending all of your and your customers’ data to China (and a few other countries and non-state actors as well).

One can only hope that with Salesforce getting “woke” about firearms, that the democrat party goes all in on Salesforce CRM at the federal, state, and local levels.

Suppose a private company owned the power grid that Salesforce’s headquarters used. Should they be allowed to refuse Salesforce any electric power unless Salesforce stopped licensing their software to abortion clinics?

Why does this sound like a threat to do to their customers, the same thing some illegal hackers are doing to Baltimore right now?

Corporations siding with the rat machine and the media. Who is the majority in the country? Like the many less than one percent rag tag perverted groups and the 13 percent or so black brown and muslim un assimilators and victims, WE NEED TO SHOW OUR MUSCLE WITH OUR PURCHASING POWER when it comes to these corporations and push back hard with these minority noise makers

Jean Pascal-Tricoire, the frog twit CEO of Salesforce.

Some enterprising ex-military should put together a team of H1b Indians and whip up a new killer software program and seriously under price a whole new system and put these tossers out of business.

Maybe folks will realize that if they can twist arms over one item, they can twist nipples over any item they decide “isn’t “fit for their software”....Lots of apps out there that customers can use as they want...why would any sane person go with one that put idiotic restrictions on the normal use of the app?

“It’s easy to export your data (that you own) from the SFDC platform.”

When I looked at moving the company I worked for to a system, I think, was SAP, in the late ‘90’s, the expense was tremendous. Also, what will the present contract say about early cancelation penalties?

Another issue I thought about later is what does the current contract say about the supplier putting new terms of service on their product? It occurs to me this is another “get woke-go broke” thing the supplier is doing.

“SFDC may change this Policy by posting an updated version of the Policy at www.salesforce.com and such updates will be effective upon posting.”

Could this company, or any other, update their “policy” to deny service to black people who register to vote, or would that be considered a violation of constitutional rights?

Is the right to keep and bear arms a constitutional right?

Other software sellers will appreciate the business.

Yeah but migrating your entire business to another platform is not easy, quick or cheap. This stunt should be illegal.

Does this apply to just retail operations, or does it also include distributors, manufacturers, subcontractors, etc? Does the company who cleans the offices get hit? This strategy was pioneered by the SHAC creeps.

This may result in decentralizing production of guns and transforming it into a cash only business. That might not be a bad thing.

If it works against guns, they will try it on oil companies, GMO companies, companies whose management supports the wrong pollination, etc. The only thing limiting it is the effect on Salesforce.

Sales Force is a has been, no one who knows the latest technology would use them. They basically have a legacy customer base that increases only when executives that used their service push it on a company when they move on to a new job.

“they’ve got you on the customer agreement...”

I didn’t read it. Don’t they have a contractual responsibility too? Can they unilaterally change the terms anytime they want? Does it forbid sales of certain arms?

This is a private company attacking the civil and constitutional rights of citizens and trying to impose fascism thru the public market.

The company needs to be charged with sedition. Send in the Marines.

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

Unless you sell cakes of course.

telenotes is 10x more useful. I use both Salesforce and telenotes. Night and day.

If "Salesforce" really sucks that bad, why do you use it at all?
