I’ve been thinking a lot about social media and how it and other services are subject to the Canadian boycott – and I realise that many other countries are doing the same – of American services and products.

Not that I have an answer, as the very service I’m using right now WordPress, is an American amenity.

So I’m posing a few questions which I hope you will be kind enough to answer. Have you dropped any American services such as AppleTV, Amazon, Wayfair or Netflix? Have you dropped any social media services such as X, Facebook, Pinterest or Instagram? If you have dropped some but not others, why?

I have dropped Amazon, Amazon Prime, Wayfair, Facebook and Instagram but have kept Netflix and of course, WordPress. My reasoning is that Netflix is a publicly traded company whose founder and chairman is clearly anti-Trump. WordPress, on the other hand, is non-profit, open-source project, which means that no one really owns it.

Nevertheless, while I am very conscious about shopping local and Canadian I really don’t want to stop Netflix and certainly not WordPress, although it frankly feels a bit uncomfortable.

What are your feelings?
