SalesForce, a customer relationship management (CRM) technology company designed to help with commerce, recently updated their acceptable-use policy. The policy change essentially tells firearms manufacturers and gun store retailers that they're no longer allowed to utilize the service to collect payments because of products and goods that they sell.
Specifically, they don't want their product being used for transactions involving "high capacity" magazines, unfinished lowers and firearms with a thumbhole or folding stock.

So is it OK if other financial institutions refuse business with abortion providers, homosexuals, muslims?
Salesforce.com just agreed that a business doesn’t have to serve people they don’t agree with.
But aren’t they the same people who agitate for states to persecute Christian businesses over refusing to serve homofascists staging fake marriages?
If they don’t wanna serve you tell ‘em to pound sand. CRM software companies are a dime a dozen, Salesforce got big because of their ties to Oracle and the lowlife Larry Ellison.
Short CRM stock.
Sorry, that’s discrimination. Or something. Boycotting firearms business and Christian business if okee dokee though.

oooppps! “double tap”.
Doing business with a company that demands that you, the customer, accommodate their political views and behaviors is risky and insulting. Companies that use Salesforce need to run to a competitor as fast as they can. If Salesforce doesn’t experience a drop in revenue over this, we will see the wingnut leftie tech companies of Silicon Valley and San Francisco hold the entire nation hostage over their services and products. Just say no.
You might be on to something. What about the “Constitutional Bank of America” or “American Constitutional Bank.” If the 2nd Amendment goes, the rest of the Constitution goes with it.
Sadly, I only have about $60.00 on me which ain’t gonna get the bank opened up. But, if I had gazillions, I’d sure do it. Or become an uber lib and screw the peasants and what they want. LOL!
This will end up helping small firearm dealers. I have a friend whose 19 year old is studying to become a gunsmith. He already has serious offers and he is 1 year away from completing his work. His plan is to open his own business.
The 1st amendment would say so; the 14th amendment (as shamefully interpreted over the years would say not so), so you know the answer to that question...
Us evil gun owners are the oppressors of those poor oppressed people you listed, so any ‘service provider’ not wishing to serve those oppressed people need to be FORCED to do so, so that we can finally end oppression.
We have been on the other side of the looking glass for a long, long time.
I don’t see how this is enforceable, especially for companies who are already using their software and have invested large sums of money.
They could be liable for the costs of switching to another product.
Plenty of other CRM products to choose from, including open source.
Like a good socialist, SalesForce wants to be a victim. It’s just begging to be DDoSed, hacked, have its internals exposed, have its customer’s data breached and exposed. To be added to the list of #ustoo.
Thats going to stand up in court for about 15 seconds.
Not a thumbhole!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
That rifle stock has a THUMBHOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like it could be a tying arrangement which is illegal under anti-trust laws.
Libs on that: “Laws? You know that doesn’t apply to us, right?”
In our kangaroo court judicial system it most certainly will stand up and the left knows it. Salesforce probably has ten floors full of lawyers with eight figure budgets. Good luck in court.
