In this Lunchtime Talk, we will hear from Artemis Bear who is part of a new initiative called No To Big Tech. We'll learn about why we need alternative options for cloud storage, collaborative documents, email, media streaming, social media and hardware.
Big Tech, like Apple, Google, and Meta has demonstrated itself to be a threat to our privacy, human rights, mental health, and democracy. With governments appearing unwilling to create the conditions for transparency and accountability, we must build a popular resistance and the good news is that there are many ethical, privacy-first alternatives that we could be supporting instead.
