Big Tech has us all firmly in its grip...

There are many well documented issues with Big Tech:

  • NO PRIVACY

  • ANTI HUMAN RIGHTS

  • FUELS INEQUALITY

  • BUILT-IN ADDICTION

  • NO TRANSPARENCY

  • NO ACCOUNTABILITY

  • AVOIDS TAX

  • FUELS HATRED

  • FUELS CONSUMPTION

  • DAMAGING TO MENTAL HEALTH

  • TARGETS CHILDREN

  • DIGITAL COLONIALISM

  • SUPPORTS GENOCIDES

  • ALIGNED WITH AUTHORITIAN REGIMES

  • THREAT TO DEMOCRACY

  • MONOPOLISTIC

  • SURVEILLANCE CAPITALISM

- We need to ditch Big Tech together - as one!

- We need to rise up collectively to defeat and dismantle Big Tech.

- We need to pressure our governments and the organisations which partner with Big Tech.

- There are many ethical, privacy-first alternatives that we should be supporting instead! 

The People Behind The Movement

Join the No To Big Tech Movement

This is a grassroots, not-for-profit activist-powered movement for those people who are looking to move away from Google and other forms of Big Tech.

We are a community that exists to support you during the shift away from Big Tech, and towards more ethical, alternative, open source alternatives.

We plan on hosting a number of webinars that will help people to make the switch - and hope to run more local, in-person events too.

For now - please join the mailing list below so you can receive updates on the project!

No To Big Tech FAQ

No, we're not connected with the existing movement on Reddit. We are aware of it, and we are supportive of what they are also looking to achieve (and there are many such similar movements and communities out there, which is clearly a good thing!) but specifically regarding this subreddit, we disagree with their policy whereby they do not allow any political messages to be shared regarding Google on their subreddit.

For us this is very important - to DeGoogle clearly is a political decision! Everything is political and so to adopt a content policy that refuses to allow content relating to politics, for us is an oppressive policy. 

Even if you don't consider yourself as political, or if you don't want to DeGoogle for political reasons... there's no avoiding the fact that to decide the products or services you chose to support is itself a very politically-motivated decision.

Finally - Reddit is very much a part of the Big Tech problem.

Whilst we do offer a limited amount of custom support for specific instances (see our Get Help page (external link)), we try to first suggest that those looking to DeGoogle spend time attending one of our webinars, or that they explore the resources and guidance we have referenced elsewhere on the website. 

There is no commercial activity involved on this website. No affiliate links will be used, and no advertisements will be shown. This is a not-for-profit movement with the aim of supporting the ethical, alternative, privacy-first and opensource tech alternatives that exist (also known as FOSS).

Many of these companies require support (and money) in order to operate. They can't all survive from offering free services like Google, because they aren't operating in a kind of vulture capitalist, walled garden environment. 

This is a volunteer-led, decentralised not-for-profit movement whereby the people involved can make  decisions as to how the website and movement operates - but there won't ever be a process of monetisation.

Note that we will allow and encourage donations (external link) to cover the small costs involved in operating the website (and we have a transparency page (external link) that documents any such costs).

This is great to hear! If you want to contribute some time to the movement, as to first steps please fill in the form on this contribute page (external link). 

Once that is done, someone will be in touch to welcome you, and to share next steps. We like to meet online with all contributors - because it's nice to chat about this stuff face-to-face - so that may also be arranged when we reach out.

You will be invited to join us in Matrix/Element where we co-ordinate internally too.
