The Firewall is a journalistic watchdog that not only hunts down abuses but also takes them on head-on. The Firewall focuses entirely on Big Tech and investigates the power, influence, and impact of major technology companies on our society, democracy, economy, and privacy. The urgency is great, because developments are unfolding at an alarming pace. That is why The Firewall goes the extra mile. Where journalists usually hope that civil society will take up the findings of their work, The Firewall takes action themselves. They will expose abuses in a journalistic and verifiable manner. In addition, they will also combat these abuses through legal means wherever possible and appropriate.

Sadly DeepL doesnยดt support page-translation, so this link uses Google Translate. Still, it is using Google to fight Google, so we have to start somewhere, I guess.

Word medestander van The Firewall en help mee de macht van Big Tech te breken.

That's cool, I guess, but what are these people going to do that organisations like the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Bits of Freedom aren't already trying to do? It kind of reads like a bunch of noobs and normies have finally figured out Google and Facebook are evil and now they think they've invented a new kind of activism.

Didn't know about Bits of Freedom, looks good too!
