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 :)

The point of this cryptography is that you don't have to trust the company implementing it not to do that, as long as you trust the software doing the retrieval.
Unless you do it all yourself, it will never be trustless.
Just like your favorite phone app, in the end you will have to trust the actual code, and you will have to trust that the actual app on your actual phone is from the actual source they claim. Do you feel lucky?
