How can I tell whether an AI company is a BDS target?
Use the Palestinian BDS National Committee’s 2024 corporate priority guide ↗ and No Tech campaign page ↗ to check named target categories. The directory currently labels Microsoft Copilot a boycott target and Gemini a pressure target in those checked sources. “Not listed” means no match in the lists named on that profile at the review date; it is not approval or a finding about every parent, partner, or supplier.
How should I read the categories?
The BNC guide distinguishes consumer boycott priority targets, organic boycott targets, and pressure targets. The No Tech page gives a technology-focused list and campaign context. Keep the label and scope on the source page; the directory’s profile shows which pages were checked for each company and product.
Our overall ranking caps boycott targets at 2/10 and subtracts one point for pressure targets. Other statuses have no adjustment. These are our editorial weights; see the overall scoring rules.
How do I choose a practical alternative?
Choose an alternative by what you need it to do, then check that provider and its host against the exact list or campaign you follow. A switch to a different app may still route to a listed model provider. Compare the model and provider route in compare models and compare providers; the ChatGPT alternatives guide includes practical privacy and local-use options too.
