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 not the answer to your question, but a comment. Sorry, I am aware that it may not be helpful to you.
I don't think TOS are very hard to read once you've read one or two, if you care, you should just read the TOS.
For example, if you're concerned about EU-US datatransfer, the privacy policy has to outline who data is shared with, so you can skim it and see if they mention sharing data at all, or if they are doing it with specific companies, or just "partners".
On the internet and social media, you have to transfer the rights to your content to the social media content, because it's the only way they're allowed to store, replicate and distribute your comments or post.
That kind of stuff. And those paragraphs mostly look the same.
