Boycott a service. Against the TOS?

If I was to post a link to video of the CEO of a service saying something. Then suggested that Americans boycott that service what he said. Would I be violating the TOS for simply making the suggestion?

Probably, but I will wait for the mods to decide.

It would not be advised

If you found a boycott already in place and started a discussion about it, that's something that seems to be a way to make people aware of the cause without getting in trouble. There are several threads floating around about boycotts over the Arizona immigration law issue, and none of them have been shut down. It looks like as long as you aren't asking people to go sign up for the boycott, you aren't recruiting.

I could be wrong, though.

Is this why the thread about a new Conspiracy Channel website was nuked? I went back looking for it and it was gone.

Sorry, wrong thread.
