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 :)

If you're able to successfully navigate the fucking maze of settings both on your device and your account, and stay up to date when Google silently opts you into new "features" so you can opt out of them, then probably not. But honestly, no one knows except Google, and they've given you every reason not to trust them.
In regards to RCS, probably the same as every other quasi-private messaging platform: the content of your messages is encrypted and private, but your social graph, who you talk to, when, and how often, is property of the corporation. Or if you're messaging someone on a Samsung or Apple device, then multiple corporations.
