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 :)

You would only lose contact with the people who didn't care enough to keep in touch. That's a win-win situation.
It's not just people who know, knew but also new connections that could've gone somewhere given enough time and energy.
Being the first to fight for privacy in my circles has amputated so many of my possibilities.
Legislation needs to pas so I don't have to tell everyone that I don't want my damn picture on the internet every time someone pulls a phone out.
