ElbowsUpforDigitalSovereigntyOne of our esteemed committee members, Janet Vertesi - @cyberlyra - was recently interviewed on Techtonic - @markhurst - talking about her journey to #DigitalIndependence. She went from being "that person who hates technology" to the founder of the Opt Out Project, an organization that helps others to remove data-collecting big tech from our lives.
It's a fascinating interview that hopefully inspires you to #DeGoogle.

Techtonic’s signoff tells you to “get off Google,” and Janet Vertesi shows how it’s done. Janet founded the Opt Out Project to show people how to switch from Big Tech surveillance platforms to better, community-minded alternatives.
