About Us
The Tech Oversight Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to reining in Big Tech for the damages they’ve caused by urging lawmakers to support comprehensive legislation on antitrust, online safety, privacy, and artificial intelligence.
“This is a David versus Goliath fight.”
Sacha Haworth, Executive Director
The Tech Oversight Project is a nonprofit organization and the only tech watchdog dedicated solely to research, rapid response, and aggressive media tactics that shape the debate around tech policy in Washington, D.C., and statehouses across the country. Our mission is simple: Hold Big Tech giants accountable to make the internet a better, more competitive place.
For far too long, Big Tech companies like Google, Apple, Meta, and Amazon have amassed too much power and far too much control over our daily lives – impacting our children, our health and wellbeing, and our economy. It’s time to level the playing field, wrest control of the internet back from a handful of unelected Big Tech CEOs, and put people back in the driver’s seat.
To achieve this, The Tech Oversight Project is the tip-of-the-spear and leading the charge in countering Big Tech’s false narratives, exposing bad actors who are harming our country, and engaging with legislators and enforcers.
We anchor our work around ushering in meaningful change that will improve the lives of millions of Americans and everyone who uses the internet. We collaborate with lawmakers, civil society partners, and parents to enact comprehensive legislation and implement enforcement actions related to competition, online safety, privacy, and artificial intelligence.
Proudly supported by everyday people who want to hold Big Tech accountable.
