Thank you for bringing up a great point!
Rayt isn’t a new form of vandalism, it’s a new form of protesting.
What is the definition of vandalism? 'Deliberately mischievous or malicious destruction or damage of property' Rayt warnings are not mischievous, malicious, nor do they damage property.

Now let’s check out the definition of 'protest' -- 'an expression or declaration of objection, disapproval, or dissent, often in opposition to something a person is powerless to prevent or avoid.'

That’s a lot closer to how I see Rayt warnings.

Rayt warnings are well-researched and are created to raise vital awareness about corporate accountability (which affect human rights & the environment all around the world!). Rather than seeing spray-painted graffiti, Rayt warnings are like seeing a lone protester in front of a store with a really big sign - you are more than welcome to engage the protester or you can just as easily walk into the store and conduct your business uninterrupted. How does that sound?

Why doesn’t this ammount to a kind of internet vandalism? Consider someone who spray-paints unwanted comments on a store’s wall. Now consider someone who puts unwanted comments on a store’s website. In both cases, the vandal is defacing a store’s property. In one case, the vandal has entered and defaced a physical space, and in the other case, he has defaced a webspace. But should this difference - a physical store or a website - make a difference? And if so, why? They’re both vandalism!
