100+ Protests

The Glass Room San Francisco / The Glass Room Plus St. Pölten

“Thank you for your message. We will be in touch with you soon”. In times when technology giants are becoming bigger and more powerful worldwide, it is not uncommon for complaints to disappear in support channels. But the overview of protests compiled by Tactical Tech, on the basis of publicly available information, makes it clear that criticism against the corporations has not fallen silent.

Citizens, organisations, shareholders and employees of 19 international companies have their say. The causes of the protests over the past ten years are as diverse as the parties involved: they range from the treatment of working conditions, privacy and environmental protection to sexual harassment and problematic collaboration with the military.

The interactive timeline not only shows how much the criticised grievances are accumulating, but also that resistance against them is growing and is diverse in nature.
