De-google-ify Internet

What’s the problem?

The web giants are so powerful that they exercise technical, economic, cultural and political domination over our societies.

These dominations pose many problems for our freedoms:

  • Surveillance capitalism
  • Democratic drift
  • Closure to a single vision of society
  • Centralization of data and attention
Conference “De-google-ify Internet”
Do you want to learn more about this topic? Take the CHATONS online course “Internet : pourquoi et comment reprendre le contrôle ?” (in french only).

What are the solutions?

Free software communities offer ethical alternatives to the centralised platforms by the web giants: It is possible to find trusted services that respect our privacy!

Deconstructing and changing our digital habits also means making efforts on a daily basis. Here are some links to help you in your emancipation:
