A boycott is more urgent than ever!

More reasons to quit Big Tech:
You do not have privacy. Your data is roofed for AI. People in the global South are being abused to train AI as cheap click-workers. AI takes a lot of energy and water, so much so that all major U.S. cloud companies have abandoned their sustainable ambitions. AI is pushed through our throats and put in everything without asking. These tech companies owned by billionaires put themselves above democracy and work intensively with the Trump regime to further increase their power.
- You have no privacy
- Data theft for training AI
- Abuse of low-wage countries
- Insane energy and water consumption
- Farewell to sustainable ambitions for AI
- Forcing AI functions into everything
- Concentration of power in the hands of a few billionaires
- Partner of US intelligence services
