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 :)

I wonder if its illegal to put some clear coating on license plates to prevent AI cameras from scanning it?
Pretty much. Iirc there are a handful of places in the US that allow license plate covers but it's usually illegal to obscure it for any reason when driving on public roads
I've effectively excised fb from my life and i'm becomming kinda proud since so many people still struggle with that one.
Tbh, me too, but funny enough I've tried to setup fb account just for fb marketplace but I keep getting banned because they want my DL license (lol nah bitch)
it's so dystopian when I travel to countries where cashless vendors are a thing. Recently Germany took me by surprise, they have been a bastion of cash for a long time, and during my last trip there were many restaurants with "no cash accepted" signs. Just like in the UK or Norway where privacy is already a lost cause
You can escape the big tech tracking by installing uBlock Origin in your browser, and if you use their services, disabling personalised ads and search/activity history in their accounts.
Cloudflare and AWS say "Hi" ๐
It's very good tech that I strongly recommend too though. Just gotta be aware of its limits.
Let them build a profile on me I never see their ads anyway. I can minimize but not escape it if I want to partake in modern society.
Cloudflare just checks for bot activity and AWS is just a hosting provider. They don't use data for ads or sell it to anyone.
The original claim was about tracking ("escape the big tech tracking"), so here AWS and Cloudflare are definitely relevant. The content, including input, also flows through them I think? It's specifically unencrypted if I get it right.
Hahaha I got a sandbox to sell you in the Sahara. Everyone is selling data or ads they are not leaving money on the table.
Which company if I may ask? Name and schame... Honestly I would leave such a invasive company. It is not worth it.
Not going to say the company, but every single company I've worked on does this to their remote workers, you just don't know about it.
Understandable you dont name it. I never hat a company be like this how ever.
