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.

- 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 :)

Been a happy Kagi user for 6+ months now. No more Pinterest and other blogspam in my searches
Aren't they fundamentally anti privacy? You have to be logged in so they can correlate literally everything you search for or click on with a credit card number and real name...
They ask a bit of trust on that, but their FAQ also has an appeal to reason:
(For the record, I use Kagi)
That's asking for a hell of a lot of trust in them... wouldn't be the first, or last, time companies lie about these things.
Yeah. I don't think something that requires payment is inherently private. Even when paying for a service with something like Monero, you are still required to log into an account to use it.
You could absolutely have a profile built about you on a VPN. VPNs don't necessarilly have to be telling the truth when they say they don't keep logs. You are entrusting the VPN with all of your internet traffic, which just passes the responsability from the ISP to the VPN provider.
I do use a VPN, but I am aware of its flaws.
Tor and/or I2P is what people should be using if they require absolute privacy (like if they're a whistleblower).
