> and the returns to the public sector. We delve into the problematic labor
> and user relations underlining the value-creation machine Big Tech has
> assembled, and the perverse social and environmental costs of these
> socio-technical systems. We set out arguments for why Big Tech should be
> defunded, and offer potential actions Big Tech companies, governments and
> policymakers, tech workers, researchers, civil society organizations,
> social movements and individual citizens could take to redirect resources.
> We end by offering prospects for what refunding community could look like, *how
> another tech is possible.*
