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 :)

MODERATORS
Delete all data from the previous account and make a new one. Report the troll to moderators. Consider never visiting that place again if the mods won't help you with the harassment.
If the troll doesn't have access to the forum's server, then all you have to do is learn some opsec and be aware of what you share with strangers on the Internet.
If the troll does have access to the server and you absolutely need to visit the forum (which I'd advise not to in such a case), then in addition to what has been said above, use VPN with a hardened browser or Tor to access the forum.
Also consider filing a police report for harassment. I don't expect anything will happen from that alone, but it starts a paper trail.
