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 :)

Is it open source? If no, proton can suck my stroganoff.
Edit: The official subreddit of Proton says that it is a proprietary CAPTCHA system. Great.
Proton has opened sourced everything so far and I would expect them to do that here. They have whole pages written on why they open source everything and why that helps privacy.
It's a proprietary CAPTCHA, the sources say.
Open source and free (as in free speech) are two separate concepts, software can be open source and proprietary
Give me the source code then.
Stroganoff is quite good if cooked correctly, may I try a taste of it? I'm messing with you
Does it say that both the front end and back end are proprietary, or just the back end? I'd be fine with a closed source back end
Nothing is mentioned other than "proprietary system". Probably meaning that both ends are closed source. I don't see how I can verify whether it respects my privacy or not. I don't see a reason to implement this instead of mCAPTCHA, which is fully FOSS.
