AREA[404] Round Table N2
The Collective Exit: A De-Google Workshop

When silence is a $45 million contract and your digital life is woven into the platforms that enable such political decisions, how do we respond? AREA[404] invites you to “Time to De‑Google Yourself,” a workshop where we’ll interrogate how Big Tech’s power shapes reality and move from critical dialogue to collective action. We’ll explore practical tools to reclaim our digital autonomy and build collective strategies for a more resilient, community-powered approach to technology.

“De-Google-ing” is not about retreating from technology. It means choosing tools that respect privacy, transparency, and autonomy. This workshop will explore:

What “De‑Google-ing” means and why it matters.
Practical tools to replace Google services in daily life.
Collective strategies to reduce dependency and enhance data safety.
Peer knowledge exchanges for resistance and recovery.
Join us to deconstruct the dominant narrative and rebuild our everyday digital life.

The Workshop will be held in English.
