“The best organization in any given case meets two criteria:
1. The recipient organization does share our values.
2. The recipient organization is as opposite (and hopefully as offensive) as possible to the site operator that funded the donation.”
This seems flawed on so many fronts. This is likely just donating money to your own favorite causes. And if they are not causes that you have already vetted, how do you know that organization you found is not worse than the one you’re trying to punish? It would take a good deal of research to figure this out.
What percentage of the values of the organization need to meet your values? Virtually no organization perfectly matches the values for anyone.
Furthermore, who is “our”? Does everyone in your company or organization have the same exact values?
This happens all the time outside of webhosting. The products you buy to eat, be clothed, and be sheltered are produced by companies that may lobby for laws against your values. As one has a choice to not use this webhosting provider, one also has a choice in what to buy with the aforementioned products required for survival--that is, if that choice hasn't been taken away by a legal monopoly situation (e.g. ISPs), industry consolidation, regulatory capture, etc.
