Resisting Big Tech Empires organised by Balanced Economy Project partners with Global Justice Now

From the website:

The technology that underpins nearly every aspect of our lives is controlled by a tiny handful of corporations. These big tech empires surveil and monetise our every move, lock us into their platforms, and use their power to bully governments and shape the world to their advantage. In their search for profit they’re fuelling division and advancing the far right globally, facilitating a vast transfer of wealth upwards, intensifying automated warfare, and accelerating environmental destruction. Yet they still pose as the visionaries of the future.

There is much that is unprecedented about the technological revolution currently unfolding. At the same time it echoes older histories of enclosure and dispossession, now unfolding at exponential speed and scale. But the future does not have to belong to unaccountable tech monopolies. By challenging corporate power, democratising digital infrastructure, and putting human and planetary needs before profit, we can reclaim technology as a public good and build a better future for everyone.
