mastodon 4.7.3

UK-based non-profit promoting #technology at the intersection of #privacy, #security, #sustainability AND #inclusivity. No corporate greed, no data sold, and no "A.I."

We're helping individuals and groups by slowly rolling out:
• Public workshops discussing alternatives to Big Tech.
• Private consultation for organisations on how to make better choices.

It’s time for the people to have control over their own tech - not governments and corporations.
