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.

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 :)

That doesn't mean someone isn't going to pull those up to reprimand you, or monitor your work.
There's privacy from personal things, then there's overbearing micro management who will literally track "Mouse hovering" and "Keyboard Idle Time" or how long you take to write an email.
Amingst the other creative ways they can try to keep you at a level "non promotable" status or whatever leverage to control you.
I've never had to suffer from it, I do my job, but as a systems admin/engineer for over 15 years, I've definitely worked at places that implemented it at our expense, or we had to set it up for our clients using it against their own staff.
Yep. Good point.
