I remember using this app[0] on my phone years ago, I just checked and they have an API. I'm not sure, but if I recall correctly this allowed you to scan barcodes of things and warn you if they are sub-brand or subsidiary of [evil company you wish to avoid].

Is this the one that explicitly won't let you boycott products by Israeli companies?

edit: Yep https://honestreporting.com/fighting-bds-with-buycotts/

You can use it to boycott anything (perceived as conservative or neutral) you like as long as it's not progressive or Israeli.

So, useless.

Wasn't aware of that, also my use-case during the brief time I messed with it was trying to see how clever it was at identifying companies which use animal testing to develop their products.

Thank you for the link.

Was it just based on that chart about the illusion of choice?
