I've seen a few people protesting against GitHub, mostly because they profit of the code that is hosted on there (notably GitHub Copilot) More on that here: https://sfconservancy.org/GiveUpGitHub/ Though this is online.

For real life, people in Germany went to the streets a few times already because of the so-called "Staatstrojaner" (Basically a trojan that they can inject into all devices of someone who is "suspicious" in the governments eyes, they're probably using Pegasus, but I'm not super deep into that topic). Ref: https://netzpolitik.org/2022/protest-so-war-die-erste-demo-g... (There is way more on that though)
