Technology Independence Group

A movement for change

We are a coalition of technology experts united around a common cause of technology independence.

We stand against the current trends of Big Tech encroaching on the rights and privacy of organizations and individuals. As well as censoring, suspending, and de-platforming those with values and messages that are not considered in alignment with their political and social agenda.

Technology Independence Group

We believe that you should not have to compromise your values and hand over control of your data and business processes when seeking to scale and modernize.

We aim to help every values-based business break free from Big Tech and maintain control of their data and processes.

We are passionate about delivering high-quality, trustworthy technology services that you can be proud to support.

– Rep. Kevin McCarthy
