| | | | | | Hey there — if you missed my last email, here’s what you need to know: tech companies’ shocking abuse of power is putting us all at risk.
From refusing to say how they tackle election misinformation, to changing product prices based on your personal data without your consent, Big Tech is silently shaping our world at every level. And it’s scary.
But if enough of us act now, we can push companies to be more honest, open and accountable. Can you chip in to support the campaign? Click to donate, it takes just 1 minute.
Or read on for the full story:
If everyone who reads this email chips in just $3 to help make Big Tech open and accountable, we'll reach our $1.5 million target today. Can you donate now? It takes 1 minute.
Hi there — the power Big Tech has over all our lives is mind-blowing.
And all too often, it's dangerous. We’ve seen before how social media companies' failure to tackle disinformation can shape elections and threaten our democracies.
With major votes coming up in the US, France, Brazil and Kenya in 2022, we urgently need to push Big Tech to explain how they’ll stop lies and bad actors influencing election outcomes.
Emotions run high during elections, which can lead to social unrest. So social media companies have a huge responsibility to get this right — can you help make sure they do?
Really, I’m not exaggerating: Big Tech's decisions will impact millions of people's lives. Can you chip in now to help fund the fight to make companies more open and accountable? Keeping Big Tech honest benefits all of us. It's not only about global elections, on a personal level it stops companies exploiting our data without our knowledge.
Here’s where it gets creepier… some products and services use AI to scour your personal data — like your age, gender or where you live — to decide how much to charge you, or push up prices.
They don't say when it's happening, so it's almost impossible to know if you're paying more. But with your help, we can investigate further, sound the alarm and demand transparency — are you in?
Seriously, it's time to stop companies exploiting our data for profit and using unfair pricing tactics. Let's make Big Tech open and accountable – chip in now, it takes 1 minute: At Mozilla, we're proudly non-profit, non-corporate, non-compromised — and backed entirely by generous people like you. So everything you donate counts.
Together, we can keep Big Tech honest. Thanks for backing the campaign.

P.S. Election disinformation and personal pricing are just the tip of the iceberg: there are so many areas in which Big Tech's lack of transparency is bad for all of us. Let’s shine a light on these shady practices. Chip in to support Mozilla’s campaigns now. | |
