Is your favorite app tracking you? Likely so. Is that just a necessary evil for the conveniences of modern life? No! There are great options now that you will love.

This is a free workshop for people who want apps that better protect their privacy and align with their values. (Session will repeat Wed 4/8 at the same time/place.)

The platforms we've gotten used to - like Google, Meta, and Amazon - have created dependency on a surveillance, data-harvesting model largely owned by our problematic billionaire class.

Many people realize that's a problem and would like to change, but don't know where to start.

The good news is there are now options to free you from toxic tech. Reclaim control over your data by moving away from invasive platforms to more ethical, privacy-respecting alternatives.

It's now easy to switch to greater 'digital sovereignty', let me help. I've done the research so you don't have to.

As a 'starter kit' we will mainly cover replacement apps for:

• Messaging

• Email

• Browsers/Search

• Maps

• AI

Plus we will briefly discuss VPNs, social media, shopping, and phones.

This will be an overview and we will move fast, but I will help you walk out emancipated with some new apps and tech choices. Bring your laptop and/or your smartphone, a way to take notes, and a willingness to make changes.
