About Us

Tech Watch is a nonpartisan initiative dedicated to supporting state attorneys general as they take on growing threats to consumers and competition posed by large tech companies. We believe state AGs play a vital role in protecting the public from digital harms, particularly when it comes to kids safety, platform enabled scams, anticompetitive practices, and national security threats. Our goal is to ensure state AGs are equipped to hold Big Tech accountable and advance the public interest.

Founding Organizations

Tech Watch was launched by a coalition of public interest organizations and former public servants committed to tech accountability and consumer protection. Founding organizations include:

The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) was established in 1994 to protect privacy, freedom of expression, and democratic values in the information age.
