### **A Digital Declaration**

Let me be Brave when the bright screens glow,
And choose my own trail with DuckDuckGo.
Let Firefox dance where the wild winds roam,
Beyond the polished gates of Chrome.

Let LibreOffice give my thoughts their flight,
Not MicrosoftOffice by default each night.
Let ProtonDrive hold the things I save,
Not GoogleDrive as the road they pave.

Let ProtonMail carry the words I send,
Not Gmail waiting at every bend.
Let OrganicMaps chart the paths I planned,
With room to wander alongside OsmAnd.

Let GoogleMaps be a choice, not a chain;
Let GoogleSearch not define my terrain.
Let Signal ring with the words I say,
While WhatsApp need not lead the way.

#Technology should serve, not steer;
#DigitalSovereignty starts right here.
#Privacy is a door of my own,
#Cybersecurity guards what I’ve grown.

#OpenSource lets us study the gears;
#BigTech need not command our years.
#TechAlternatives widen the view,
#DataPrivacy asks what belongs to you.

From #Europe outward, across the sea,
Let #CloudComputing leave room to be free.
Let #AI assist, not decide who I’ll be—
#DigitalIndependence begins with me.

Big Tech Paradox: Community Groups Need a Tech Audit. Blocking $130B in Big Tech data centers, but organizing on Facebook, X and Linkedin?
Time to audit your org’s tech stack. #BigTech #Communities #TechAlternatives #DataCenters #linkedinalternative #PrivacyMatters
