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 :)

MODERATORS
Not to discredit or counterpoint what you're saying... But in some jurisdictions, that's illegal. As an example, California RTA/RTF laws make it a requirement that some data should be deleted unless there's a different legal standard requiring the data be kept. Enforcement? Who knows?
To add, not deleted stuff is what my favorite lawyers call "discoverable". Not sure how many lawyers Meta has but I'm betting at least one of them is reminding them deleting stuff is a good thing.
Even Reddit doesn't delete your post(data) when you delete your account. You will have to do it. Yourself first, of you have hundreds of posts or comments
The Nuke Reddit History Chrome extension is great for this.
Reddit has a change log of your comments. This does nothing to their underlying data
it doesnt, but rather have all the comments deleted in any case.
