I know this feeling all too well. I feel it, too. Watching Trump get re-elected — fueled by disinformation, hate, and unchecked algorithms — is absolutely devastating.

After years of sounding the alarm about the risks Big Tech poses to democracy, it’s hard to accept that these companies and their CEOs now hold even more power over how information on their platforms will be shared. But we can’t ignore the truth: this is no accident. This is the result of a system where billionaires like Elon Musk profit from a rampant spread of lies and hate, influencing millions while the truth struggles to be heard—and we all pay the price.

I’ll be frank. We’re up against more than we ever imagined. These Big Tech billionaires, now directly in the pockets of the highest office, think they’re untouchable. They think they can rewrite facts to fit their agenda and boost profits while people struggle to get essential information. But the Accountable Tech team is gearing up for the fight ahead. We know it won’t be easy, but we believe that together we can demand a fairer, safer digital world — one where the voices for justice and democracy are not overshadowed by profit and unchecked corporate greed.
