Our journey began in 2013 when Senior Research Psychologist Dr. Robert Epstein discovered the ‘Search Engine Manipulation Effect.’ He demonstrated that politically biased rankings in search results have the potential to shift the voting preferences of undecided voters at significant rates, effectively stripping the public of one of the core tenants of democracy, our freedom. This study laid the groundwork for our team.
Through these findings and others like them, a group of individuals came together to learn more. The Search Engine Manipulation Effect sparked our interest, but now, our focus goes beyond the potential for bias in search engines. We’re working to develop systems that promote transparency on the internet by studying mainstream sources of information, from social media to news outlets to everything else in between.
The Tech Watch Project is committed to protecting democracy and ensuring the safety of our children.
We believe that these issues have gone undetected for far too long. We must create awareness and take action.
Our goal is to address and solve the threats posed by Big Tech companies, which include:
Our team has and is providing reliable insights and innovative solutions for a safe and ethical digital world. We are conducting cutting-edge, unbiased research that has already forced a small level of transparency from Big Tech companies. We've seen success, so now, we aim to force them into full transparency which they must continue.
The Tech Watch Project is putting an end to mass manipulation and the indoctrination of our children. We're holding Big Tech companies accountable by monitoring internet content with the first ever nationwide "Digital Shield."
Tech Watch is composed of a diverse and talented group of researchers, enrollment specialists, data scientists, and engineers who share a common desire for ethical technology. Our approach tackles complex issues from multiple angles, ensuring comprehensive data analysis that addresses the needs of the general public.
We are a non-partisan research team whose intention is to identify and inform the public about trends in the content that Big Tech sends us. We will accurately report on bias and manipulation in Big Tech's messaging. Through our commitment to the scientific process, we conduct and promote research that informs the development of responsible technological systems, ultimately contributing to a just digital landscape.
