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 should always verify signature and hash for any software you are installing but also keep in mind that if someone was really trying to send you a malicious download then there's good chance that they will also deliver you a malicious signing key and hash. And there is really no good solution. If it is critical you can try to get signings keys from different places and with different IPs and maybe even different devices but pick and choose how long do you want to go down this rabbit hole.
