Occupy Silicon Valley: Enough is Enough
Directed by Maggie McPhee2018
This September 17th, on the seventh anniversary of Occupy Wall Street, the masses will gather for a digital occupation to disrupt Big Tech: #OCCUPYSILICONVALLEY We jam the corporate behemoths that have a stranglehold on our attention, time, and thoughts-Alphabet (Google), Apple, Facebook, Amazon. These mega corps monetize our likes and clicks, feeding our personal information into endless algorithms that exacerbate our addiction to the instant gratification they provide. They claim to connect us, yet a crisis of loneliness pervades our culture like never before. This is a call for everyone around the world to take a stand for our rights and freedoms, in whatever way works for them: Leave your phone at home for the day Boycott Amazon for 24 hours Delete Facebook and Instagram altogether Take part in Google No Search Day- Whatever it takes to make Silicon Valley do a double take. Spread the word; let's shake loose the grip Big Tech has on our minds-even just for one day-to feel the power the people are capable of and rethink the way we let technology run our lives. Let's flip the power balance. Let's make the internet ours again.
