BIG BAD TECH
Many of us went into tech to build a better world. We wanted to make connections and drive innovation – but we’ve seen how Big Tech fuels deportation and incarceration. From predictive policing software to the virtual border wall, Big Tech is enabling Big Brother.
And now, after the repeal of Roe v. Wade, pregnant people and their loved ones are at greater risk than ever before, as tech companies store – and even sell – their personal data. Many companies have given lip service to reproductive rights, but it's time to hold Big Tech accountable.
Since 2019, S.T.O.P. has stood up to the surveillance state. We write groundbreaking laws, publish cutting-edge research, and take police departments to court. Whether it’s facial recognition, social media monitoring, DNA dragnets, or military-grade drones, we’re dismantling mass surveillance one spy tool at a time.
We’re winning this fight, but we need your help to keep it up. From unionizing to canceling weapons contracts, tech employees have a strong history of resistance. Surveillance companies have billions of dollars in venture capital – but we have you.

We can control the technology of the future, or the technology of the future will control us. The choice is ours.
