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 :)

That sounds an awful lot like you still believe you we have protected constitutional rights.
Every piece of digital information has been tracked and stood away by the government since the '90s.
There's a very thin line right now between showing up at a peaceful protest, getting corralled in and detained until curfew then getting locked up, researched and logged.
The administration knows that sufficient protests will knock them out of power. They will escalate making protests dangerous enough to try dissuade protesting.
All efforts and privacy are reasonable under the circumstances.
Privacy and security are a continuum, and they are balanced by your appetite for risk, and necessity of action. The safest approach to these protests is, of course, not attending them at all. I don't want to overwhelm anyone with security advice that may not be reasonable or relevant for their situation.
