## Technological Saviors?
The urgency for providing an alternative comes out of the understanding that the concentration of our digital lives within the private sphere of corporate providers (e.g. [GAFAM](https://degooglisons-internet.org/en/)) represents a loss of freedom due to the threat to our privacy and self-determination through surveillance and monopolisation.
The urgency to build an alternative is based on an analysis of our current reality.
As a movement, we cannot compete with corporate providers in terms of cost and scale. Their network effects and available capital means that no one project, product or organisation can create the required shift to a more widespread public interest technology.
The monopolisation of our digital lives, the stranglehold of corporate control (aka [GAFAM](https://degooglisons-internet.org/en/)), represents a grave threat to our collective freedom, our societies and our hopes for a good life on planet earth.

> Simply deploying libre software is not enough.
Our strategy is to mutualise our resources to facilitate this shift. _Co-op Cloud_ is an attempt to create a new shared resource - an open and democratically managed, open standards based, copyleft licensed, libre software infrastructure project.
Our strategy is to mutualise our resources to facilitate this shift.
From this base, we can focus on the urgent and necessary social organising work that goes beyond the technical question.
We can say that _Co-op Cloud_ is a libre software infrastructure project. It is based on open standards, is copyleft licensed and is open and democratically managed.
We can also say that _Co-op Cloud_ is a social movement of hosters, hackers, technologists and their allies who defend a vision of collective self-management.
We are committed to an organisational form which allows us to accumulate knowledge, solidarity, experience and resources. We claim a rich history of grassroots social resistance, direct action and collective liberation.
We propose to go beyond a reductive technological vision of social change.
