This is still not the answer. As long as buisnesses are not required to divuldge information or products for testing to these watchdog groups, those businesses can continue to provide services or products which are harmful to society. In effect, we are left with the boycott scenario. This fails due to the ease with which information can be withheld from society due to the monopolization of media (information such as any independent testing results, reports of product failures, reports of environmental damage, etc).
Libertarianism has one major flaw - and it is the flaw which affects all variations of societies: greed.
Libertarianism is especially suseptible to this flaw because it is a philosophy of independence which is dependent on the self-induced minimization of greed.
It's a shame, really.
