Pull The Plug

Inspired by Kylie Jenner’s Meta Glasses ad, we decided to tell the story of Grimy Jenner. She leads a life that Big Tech wouldn’t be keen to advertise.. Earlier this year, Meta released their new ‘smart glasses’ in partnership with Rayban and Kylie Jenner. The public rebranded them with the appropriate nickname - Pervert Glasses. The story of Grimy Jenner may be a dystopian POV (for now), but the real story of surveillance and control is a far more sinister one. Despite Jenner’s best efforts, we all understand that this is not a fashion statement. It is a piece of surveillance tech, quietly collecting vast amounts of user data and placing vulnerable individuals at risk. Big Tech does not value consent. Fuck Meta.

Not by AI. Artist: Becky Vicars @becky_vicars We have the power to choose 🔌 Link in bio to get involved. For anyone new here, we're Pull The Plug - a non-violent grassroots movement set up by a small group of concerned, ordinary people. We aren't pulling the pug on AI, but on Big Tech's undemocratic control over it. Whether its data centres or digital ID's, we're building a movement to take back control from a handful of US tech companies dominating technology. Check out our linktree and our website to get involved with what we're up to! #piracy #retro #bigtech #privacy #data

We just disrupted AI Vision, hosted by Canva in London 🔌 This event was a hotpot of Big Tech investors and AI startup founders, optimistically discussing the future of AI - but this is a future we can refuse. After the UK set out on an ego-driven journey to become an 'AI superpower', we've watched local communities suffer the brunt of the pressure. From 500 operational data centres draining communities of their resources and their homes, to the same surveillance tech used by ICE and the IDF targeting innocent people simply doing their weekly shop in Sainsbury's - the situation is out of control. Big Tech billionaires cannot continue to rapidly advance at the cost of the everyday people. They are a parasite on our democracy, and it is about time that we became a top priority. The answer is clear - we need a moratorium on data centres, and for everyday people to have a voice on AI. We're calling for a moratorium on data centres in Wales, London and Oxfordshire until the people have had a citizens' assembly - the link is in our bio to sign now. It's time to stop the madness, it's time to pull the plug. #bigtech #disruption #activist #London #canva
