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.

- 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

Other than crypto or cash based prepaid debit cards. There is no other service that will allow you to do financial transactions without doing basic KYC and keeping a record of your transactions required by law in almost all countries. They may claim it's for legal reasons only and they don't sell it but can you trust them? And how much do you trust your government to respect your privacy and not subpoena those transactions because they deem them to be unlawful.
