Break Big Tech: Dismantle the root cause of online harms

Ending online harms isn't a game of whack-a-mole.

The only way is to bust the business model that rewards harmful results.

Nothing changes until we break the spell that keeps us on platforms; the harvesting of our data to maximise engagement and fuel advertising.

We need to get off the regulatory treadmill and #BreakBigTech.

Measures to stop online harms just rearrange the deckchairs. To get serious about it, we must attack how social media platforms do business. Using our data to keep us online with targeted ads and 'For You' algorithms is the engine of hate and extremism. We must #BreakBigTech. Sign our petition ⬇️

We must pull online harms out by the roots, not simply prune them.

To #BreakBigTech, we must:

🟢 Enforce data protection to stop targeted ads.

🟢 Make algorithms transparent and give us control over them.

🟢 Let us take our followers and data with us when we leave a platform.

The UK government is stuck treating the symptoms, not the cause of online harms.

We don’t need to ban social media or age gate the Internet.

It risks pushing children into unregulated spaces and does nothing to challenge surveillance capitalism, where Big Tech profits at our expense.

@nixCraft 💡 GBS Media Response:

Big Tech isn’t just dominating markets—it’s controlling speech and shaping narratives. 🚨

They suppress competition, throttle independent creators, and dictate what the public sees. Free speech suffers when a few companies hold all the power.

The future belongs to independent voices and decentralized platforms. It’s time to reclaim the internet for everyone—not just Silicon Valley. 💪
