A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

They do already prevent fake links. Their markdown doesn't work if you have the http scheme in the url, which is why the link in the thumbnail says
steamcommunity.com
instead ofhttps://steamcommunity.com
Sure, but an average user is not going to know to check for the URL protocol. It's still incredibly effective for phishing
Yeah that's fair.
