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 :)

No proprietary software. Open source only. (Partial exception for certain games, in a virtual machine, after I review their privacy policies.)
No retail rewards memberships.
No Google anything.
No Meta anything. (Facebook/WhatsApp/Instagram/etc.)
No phone number given to web sites or (most) businesses. VoIP number for the handful that might legitimately need to call me.
Unique email addresses for each web account and service provider. When one gets leaked or spammed, I know who did it and I cut them off.
VPN when I feel it's appropriate.
Serious approach, respect!
