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 is hella illegal in EU, though I've seen many EU sites do it.
The Uk is out of the EU
Yes I know, and it's legal in many other places...what's your point? I am not allowed to state that this shitty behavior is illegal (albeit mostly unenforced) somewhere that is closely related to the location of this particular website?
Point was the site is showing a price in sterling suggesting it is being viewed in the UK, which is now not an EU member thus has it's own laws regarding this stuff.
AFAIK it's actually not illegal, it is allowed to have a paid tracking free alternative instead of a free tracking free alternative.
It is not legal to force tracking or payment. Tracking has to be voluntary and privacy may never be conditional of payment.
