If you’re not paying, you’re the product

“If you’re not paying, you’re the product.”

Surveillance capitalism tracks what you browse, watch, buy and listen to — then turns that data into profit. And increasingly, even paid platforms are collecting and monetising your information behind the scenes.

At the same time, many major tech corporations have financial and technical ties to Israel’s actions in Gaza — raising urgent questions about where our money, data and digital participation are flowing.

So what are the alternatives?

This practical, accessible workshop will explore ethical, private and secure digital options across the tools we use every day, including:

🌐 Browsing
📧 Email
💬 Messaging
🎵 Streaming
💻 Productivity tools
…and more.

We’ll break things down clearly, share realistic alternatives, and help you understand how to make informed digital choices — without needing a tech background.

Whether you’re curious, concerned, or ready to make changes, this session is open to all.

Join us to rethink your digital footprint — and take back control.
