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

Engaging your engagement should help
Wow. You raise some interesting points and according to every reliable source, these facts actually check out.
Replying with a competing point because arguments are even more engaging! You silly goose, Luddite, woke boomer. Get a life and watch some Fox News and/or CNN.
Further engagement. Smaller comment.
Unrelated impassioned argument that was meant for another thread, complete with comment mitosis.
Reaffirming sentence indicating that you make a strong argument and you are not wrong. Followed by subtle encouragement for you to double-check parent comments before posting, worded very carefully in an attempt to not sound like a dick about it, but that’s bound to get misinterpreted by someone regardless of how much effort I put into making it sound neutral.
