let's make the web go dark.

For 24 hours, let's stop feeding the machine.

No posts. No scrolling. No likes. No shares. No new content. No free material for the corporations that treat our creativity, our photographs, our writing and our ideas as an endless supply of resources.

Let's make the web go dark — not because we don't believe in the internet, but because we believe it belongs to the people who built it.

Artists, photographers, writers, musicians, journalists, designers, bloggers, independent businesses and everyday internet users: we all have a stake in this.

We built communities. We shared knowledge. We documented history. We created culture. We gave the internet its content.

And now we're being told that our work can become fuel for artificial intelligence, while the people who created it are left out of the conversation.

I'm tired of asking nicely.

No consent. No credit. No compensation. No free ride.

On December 1, 2026, I'm proposing that we take 24 hours away from the platforms that profit from our participation.

Don't post. Don't engage. Don't generate content for them.

If you can, put up a simple notice beforehand explaining why you're stepping away. Then log off.

Let's see what happens when the people who make the internet decide to take a day back.

The web was built by people. Let's remind the corporations.
