A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.

In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

no, it encourages something called "consent".
That could do both ways tho.
I dont consent to Facebook and LinkedIn making my profile invisible to internet users who dont have an account with them (which on those platform it is not possible to register and account anonymously)
Ok but LinkedIn and Facebook don't have a duty to broadcast what you want all over the internet.
They don't need consent not to share personal information, only to share it.
Yeah, I disagree with that. I think we need laws that require companies to allow anonymous users to access their content, with few exceptions.
I think that is a bit of a tall order don't you!?
