Between 2014 and 2019, we have made almost 40 online services available to users with the De-google-ify Internet campaign. In 2019, we have decided to close or restrict some of these services.

Between 2014 and 2019, we have made almost 40 online services available to users with the De-google-ify Internet campaign.

The genius of the Internet must dwell at the margins of the network in a peer-to-peer sharing dynamic, to avoid creating a Minitel 2.0. To insure equality for all concerned, from citizens to businesses, monopolies must not only be excluded, but also prevented from monopolizing personal or public data.
