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 :)

This feels way too overkill for me.
If it sounds like overkill on the privacy front, that's a good chance that it means you should be using it LOL.
Yeah. When it comes to privacy, overkill often turns out to be not quite enough.
Depends on your threat model. But given more people using these things normalize it for those who can justify the need for such software (like whistleblowers, those organizing illegal direct action), it makes it easier for them to use it without it gaining too much suspicion and makes it easier for them to use it more consistently even outside talking about things that more obviously need that extra security.
