100+ Protests

As tech companies have grown and expanded their global reach, there has been increasingly visible backlash and resistance against their practices from both inside and outside the industry.

This timeline highlights more than 100 protests over the last ten years selected from publicly available information.

The timeline also reveals the recent trend toward collective worker resistance within Big Tech. Some of these protests have yielded attention and results, while others have flown under the radar or been overlooked by the media. With governments slow to regulate, and companies reluctant or failing at self-regulation, could these protests point toward a form of accountability?
