People vs Big Tech logo with a smashed laptop graphic.
We believe in the original promise of the internet as a force for good. People vs Big Tech is a movement of 123 organisations and concerned citizens from around Europe. We are working together to challenge the power and abuses of Big Tech. Our members include #ShePersisted, Amnesty International, Global Witness, the Citizens, Transparency International EU and many more.
Together we are building a better digital world. - Together we won an EU-wide ban on the use of sensitive personal data for targeted advertising. - We got the EU to prohibit targeted advertising to kids. - We collaborated with journalists to publish a bi-weekly newsletter + are supporting a youth-led movement. - Our members got the EU Commission to investigate Meta
Our solutions to toxic tech... - Fix Our Feeds. Tech giants can design their products to be safe. We just need to make them. - Stop Surveillance For Profit. Tech corporations spy on and profile us, then make fortunes exploiting our vulnerabilities for profit. - Break Open Big Tech. We're pushing to end Big Tech's stranglehold, so that tech serves people everywhere, not just their bottom line.
Our New Year's Resolution is to continue challenging Big Tech's power and abuses. We hope you will join us in that fight.
Here's a little about what we have been up to with 120+ organisations and concerned citizens in 2024 ๐ช
