They're the founder of innovative education project The Garden, a researcher in Alternative Futures for Onion Collective, governance officer for radical video game co-op Circle-A Studios, and an active co-creator within The Bristol Commons. They're also part of a new initiative called No To Big Tech, which is aiming to support people to divest from big tech by promoting alternatives. Big tech 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. This talk will cover why we need to take action and offer alternative options for cloud storage, collaborative documents, email, media streaming, social media and hardware.
