Take Back Your Digital Life
Practical advice for those looking to leave Google – and the rest of Big Tech – for something better.
Every day, Big Tech companies collect data about your life: Are you an early bird? Do you exercise regularly? Are you struggling financially? Are you having relationship problems? Are you dealing with health issues? Are you secretly job hunting? Are you an impulse buyer? Do you hold unpopular or controversial opinions? You never volunteered to answer these questions, but Big Tech companies very likely know the answers – along with many other intimate details about your life. And this uncomfortable truth is followed by another: We depend on Big Tech's software and services. Our lives and businesses run on Gmail, WhatsApp, Office and Co.
Combined with their history of ethical missteps and monopolistic dominance, many people are ready for a change. But where to start? Leaving the known and comfortable ecosystem of Big Tech for the unknown can feel overwhelming and isolating.
That's where this site comes in. Here, you'll find practical guides and articles on how to degoogle your life – written in a way that is easy for non-tech experts to understand.
