Connecting people with ethical technology
Our Mission
To help technology users take control of their digital lives by guiding them to ethical open source alternatives to problematic technologies.
Why is it important?
We are deeply concerned about the negative impacts of unethical technology. The more we as a society accept it, the more it creeps into our lives. Think advertisers tracking activity and building profiles to sell targeted advertisements, algorithms that sway public opinion and behavior, and software many rely upon price gouging. Our goal is to inform you about the key struggles happening in ethical technology and what alternatives you can and should use and support. We also offer resources to help you configure and try software we like.
How
We create, host, and advocate for open and ethical technology and information.
What is ethical technology?
Ethical technology respects users and their right to 🔒 privacy, 🛡️ security, 🎛️ control, and 🙌 freedom, typically through 📂 open source and 🤝 decentralized models.
