We're taking on the monopoly power of Big Tech, defending our rights and democracy, and building practical alternatives people can actually use.
someone has to say it out loud —Bring tech under
public control.
Our goal is simple: bring tech under public control, make it accountable , and help people get off Big Tech where they can.
We're not anti-tech and we're not anti-progress. But the system is rigged — built by and for Big Tech companies that don't answer to anyone.
Take Back Big Tech exists to protect our democracy, our rights and our future from this unchecked corporate power .
Three ways we
fight back.
Public control
Push the infrastructure we all depend on out of the hands of a few unaccountable firms and into public, democratic oversight.
Real accountability
Defend our rights and our democracy from platforms that answer to shareholders long before they answer to the people who use them.
Working alternatives
Build practical, usable tools that let people get off Big Tech's platforms where they can — not just protest, but a way out.
The system is rigged. Built by and for Big Tech. It doesn't answer to anyone — so we're taking it back.
