Break up Big Tech

To the European Commission

Petition

We call on you to break up Google’s monopoly over digital advertising, and take broader action to dismantle the unchecked power of Big Tech monopolies across Europe’s digital economy. This includes requiring dominant platforms to sell off parts of their businesses where needed to restore fair competition, protect consumers, and defend our democracy.

Why is this important?

A US judge just confirmed that Google has an illegal advertising monopoly. [1]

The European Commission is about to finish its own investigation into Google’s ad tech monopoly any day now. [2]

This is a once-in-a-generation moment to disrupt Big Tech’s power, by breaking up Google and others into separate companies. It’s a chance to build a digital world that serves people, not monopolies. Now we need to make sure EU leaders follow through.

Tell the EU Commission they have a mandate from people across Europe to break up Big Tech!

In 2023, it found that breaking up Google by forcing the company to sell-off parts of its advertising business was the only way of restoring competition.
