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 :)

And I'm saying that in many states your lack of consent doesn't matter (legally speaking). Your consent is not required if someone else decides to record with their device.
I don't like it. Just stating that you declining to consent does nothing if someone else records you and gives the recordings to the police. That's not a search of you or your possessions, that's a search of someone else's recording that did not require your consent to be made.
None of this is new, just increasingly insidious and ubiquitous.
