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 think it's mostly a defence against getting sued if they got caught. Chrome can point at their policy and get the case dismissed, Firefox would have to defend it in court and risk losing.
But you are absolutely correct, privacy policy's are only as binding as your ability to enforce them, and you and I don't really have any means to enforce them against a large Corp.
