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.

MODERATORS
Well I just went down the rabbit hole to verify that my podcast app is simply that, and not tracking tons of data to send back to who knows where. I had been using Overcast but a few months ago changed to RSS Radio after reading a recommendation - perhaps on Reddit? RSS Radio now seems to be all but disavowed by both Dorada Software, who links from the site for it, and Maple Media Apps, LLC, who is the publisher on the app store. The app privacy cards on the iOS App Store do not instill a ton of confidence, showing: Data Used to Track You (Identifiers, Usage Data) and Data Linked to You (Usage Data)
Perhaps it's time to switch... Podverse is at least open source, although they track Usage Data and link Contact Info to you. But good ol' Overcast only has a card for Data Not Linked to You, which seems like a big improvement.
AntennaPod is the obligatory open source client.
I'm still on iOS (I know - don't yell at me) but thinking to make moves soon. I trust Android less than iOS, but perhaps GrapheneOS or something else will be for me. I'm always open to recommendations (with a minimum of yelling).
USE GRAPHENEOS
