ABOUT US

All over the world, individual acts of rebellion against the tech giants are taking shape. But to fight effectively and move forward on this frontline, we cannot afford to remain isolated. Our ambition is to intertwine local actions and transform them into a global movement.

That is why the OFF Movement is bringing together an increasingly vibrant community of committed individuals and organisations under a shared banner.

OUR STORY

The OFF Movement is a global network driving critical reflection, civic mobilisation, and concrete action to address growing digital alienation. It was born from the OFF Manifesto, a founding text warning of how certain forms of technological deployment exploit our human vulnerabilities, and setting out measures to ensure that technological development serves people – not the other way round. The Manifesto has been signed by more than 300 prominent figures from science, culture, medicine, law, philosophy, and business. OFF calls for creatively and collectively reviving the Off button. It’s not about switching everything off, but about regaining control over technology and ensuring that its development is aligned with human interests.

OUR TEAM

The OFF Movement was launched by Diego Hidalgo, author of Anestesiados (Anaesthetised) and
Retomar el control (Taking Back Control), and supported by people who believe that technology
must serve humanity, not the other way around.

Our team brings together individuals from diverse fields such as science, education,
communication, philosophy, law, and culture; all united by the same drive: to mobilise
humanity against technological alienation.

OFF is a living network that grows thanks to the support of hundreds of ambassadors,
collaborators, and volunteers around the world, who amplify our initiatives and campaigns.
