Digital counterpower Infographics
Social movements, workers and activists are forging new forms of digital counterpower to confront Big Tech as well as all unjust corporate monopolies and undemocratic and coercive states.
Resistance is coming from within Big Tech, confronting not only working conditions but also challenging the ways platforms are being used to support militarism, border violence and unjust regimes.
Digital counterpower is at the heart of the leading international social movements of today.
It is also leading to increased moves towards regulation, including the Digital Markets Act in Europe and major anti-trust lawsuits in the US. These are so far deeply inadequate but mark a turning point from the free rein that Big Tech has been given until now.
