We begin with the monopolisation of our digital lives, the stranglehold of corporate control (aka [GAFAM](https://degooglisons-internet.org/en/)), which represents a grave threat to our collective freedom, our societies and our hopes for a good life on planet earth.

We acknowledge the vast accumulation of network effects and resources accrued by these monopolies. This is the basis of our understanding that no single project, "product" or organisation can create the required shift to a more widespread public interest technology.

We acknowledge the vast accumulation of network effects and resources accrued by these monopolies. This is the basis of our understanding that no single project, "product" or organisation can create the required shift to a more widespread democratic technology.

When we say public interest technology, we mean a technology which is not built in the service of monopoly. We are speaking of a technology which emerges from elements of democracy: bottom-up decision making, social need, community ownership and ecological thinking. Our aspiration is a technology which is built in the service of social justice, equality and collective freedom.

Our strategy is to mutualise our resources to facilitate this shift. We harbour no illusions: technology alone will not "save us" and simply deploying libre software is not enough. We do not operate in a bubble and do not wish to remain contained within a subculture.
