The Electronic Frontier Foundation has launched Opt-Out October, a guided, step-by-step campaign to help people reduce their reliance on Big Tech platforms and regain control of their data and devices. Supporters online are promoting it as a chance to explore alternatives like the fediverse and take back control of the internet, with privacy advocates encouraging others to take part throughout the month.

Why now: Privacy-conscious users are sharing the campaign as growing concern over data collection drives interest in de-Googleing and decentralised alternatives.
