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
iPhone. Parental controls.
The goal here is to make sure they can be safe online, by telling them to watch what they say, don't post personal info publicly or send it to strangers. Don't try to control what they do online, because it won't work. Banning them from using platforms like instagram when all their friends are using it is just going to make them the weird kid. I don't know if they explicitly support account limits for kids, but there are digital wellbeing tools that let you set warnings and limits on apps.
I also wouldn't use any tracking tools outside the family location sharing. And I wouldn't give anyone else access to it, like their grandparents, unless there's a need, like it's just them and the grandparents on a trip.
