They are ordering their customers who sell AR-15s and semi-auto rifles (like my .22) that take a mag, to stop using their software. This seems illegal. Political blackmail? Finally, that is where david Little Pig Hogg got money to become a well known name. and Pelosi gets money from them.... The nazis used economics to force Jews out of business....

These investors include Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi vowed to make gun control a vital issue in the House of Representatives for this term. Fifty women and girls have sued the software firm Salesforce for designing tools that helped traffickers sell them for sex on the classified ad site Backpage.com. It seems Salesforce has no issue trying to tell its customer companies what they can and can not sell when it comes to legal guns, but they had no issue profiting from sex trafficking by creating customized data tools for online sex provider Backpage. Salesforce downplayed the impact of the change. A spokesperson from the company said the move is only affecting only a handful of its customers. Their current customers would have until their contracts expire to stop selling the items in question or find another solution to use for their CRM needs. The company has used its weight in the past for Benioff's crusades. In 2015, he threatened to use the power of Salesforce to put “economic sanctions” against Indiana if then-Governor Mike Pence signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. He cited human rights, but according to a lawsuit filed in March of this year, Backpage.com was facilitating sex trafficking using the company's services."

calfoxwc Posted June 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_antitrust_law " Preventing collusion and cartels that act in restraint of trade is an essential task of antitrust law. It reflects the view that each business has a duty to act independently on the market, and so earn its profits solely by providing better priced and quality products than its competitors. The Sherman Act §1 prohibits "[e]very contract, combination in the form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy, in restraint of trade or commerce." Monopoly and power Main articles: Monopoly and Market power Every person who shall monopolize, or attempt to monopolize, or combine or conspire with any other person or persons, to monopolize any part of the trade or commerce among the several States, or with foreign nations, shall be deemed guilty of a felony, and, on conviction thereof, shall be punished by fine not exceeding $100,000,000 if a corporation, or, if any other person, $1,000,000, or by imprisonment not exceeding 10 years, or by both said punishments, in the discretion of the court. —Sherman Act 1890 §2 The law's treatment of monopolies is potentially the strongest in the field of antitrust law. Judicial remedies can force large organizations to be broken up, be run subject to positive obligations, massive penalties may be imposed, and/or the people involved can be sentenced to jail. Under §2 of the Sherman Act 1890 every "person who shall monopolize, or attempt to monopolize ... any part of the trade or commerce among the several States" commits an offence.[27] The courts have interpreted this to mean that monopoly is not unlawful per se, but only if acquired through prohibited conduct.[28] Historically, where the ability of judicial remedies to combat market power have ended, the legislature of states or the Federal government have still intervened by taking public ownership of an enterprise, or subjecting the industry to sector specific regulation (frequently done, for example, in the cases water, education, energy or health care). The law on public services and administration goes significantly beyond the realm of antitrust law's treatment of monopolies. When enterprises are not under public ownership, and where regulation does not foreclose the application of antitrust law, two requirements must be shown for the offense of monopolization. First, the alleged monopolist must possess sufficient power in an accurately defined market for its products or services. Second, the monopolist must have used its power in a prohibited way. The categories of prohibited conduct are not closed, and are contested in theory. Historically they have been held to include exclusive dealing, price discrimination, refusing to supply an essential facility, product tying and predatory pricing.

Clevfan4life Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 sorry bub that doesnt apply to a product like salesforce. They can choose to not do business with whomever they please. If it hurts their brand in doing so...well tgats capitslism. Im fully aware the leftist outrage that would ensue ifvthey did this to an lbgt group. But oh well. This isnt a restaurant or grocery store discriminating on the vasis of race, sex orvethnicity. Salesforce doesnt want to associate with companies selling firearms and its their legal right to do so. Sorry. Go back to school cal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clevfan4life Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 so in essence, going after salesforce because one of their customers used their marketing snd data tools to traffic humans....is literally exactly like holding a gun manufacturer accountable for one of their guns used in a mass shooting. I for one find some of these data yools incredibly pernicious and damn near encroaching on constitutional rights to privacy. But they'd better have some serious evidence thst people at sales force explicitly knew their product was being to used to traffic humans. If not...that countersuit is gonna hurt.

Go back to HS bub. Companies can terminate business relationships with each other, it happens all the time. The ONLY sticking point is if there's an contractual obligations.
