Janet Vertesi, founder of the Opt Out Project | Techtonic with Mark Hurst on WFMU

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.
