From Shell and Palantir to JBS, Amazon’s cloud helps power oil pollution, surveillance tech and Amazon rainforest destruction.
The Amazon cloud is making our future worse, not better.
It’s time to regulate Big Tech.

No privileged US access to Europe’s tech law oversight.
We call on the European Commission to halt plans for a new “dialogue” with the US that could weaken enforcement of EU tech laws.
🚨 New report from People vs Big Tech: Algorithms on X & TikTok disproportionately push content from far right parties to new users, squeezing out moderate parties. EU & French authorities must enforce the Digital Services Act to protect democracy.
New YouGov survey across 🇩🇪🇫🇷🇪🇸🇮🇹🇵🇱 finds strong support for EU enforcement action on X.
60–78% say the EU should act further if X fails to address breaches of European law. Of those, 62–73% — nearly half of all respondents — would support banning X in the EU if it refuses to comply.
Clear public backing for data privacy, transparency, and rule of law online.
🚨 The EU’s “Digital Omnibus” is being sold as simplification. Analysis shows something else: major changes that tilt the rules toward Big Tech — weakening privacy, AI safeguards, and accountability.
And yes: the far right is helping push this deregulatory agenda.
In a new analysis we trace Big Tech's fingerprints on the Digital Omnibus proposals - a major deregulation of EU digital laws including the GDPR and the AI Act. They are helped in this attempt by the Trump administration and the European far right.
📣 Over 200,000 people have signed petitions demanding action.
