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 :)

You don't want to scan secure QR codes through Google APIs. You can be at risk of Google stealing the contents.
Then use zxing API
But you'll need access to the camera then.
Doesn't it use IPC? So only separately installed barcode scanner needs camera.
Mate, you need to give access rights to someone. The camera won't open magically. The reality is that it's safer to do everything inside your app, especially when you advertise security.
