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 :)

Text transcript for the blind :
Keep your Google services, like YouTube, linked?
YouTube, Google Search, Google Play, Ad services, Google Chrome, Google Shopping & Google Maps.
New laws in the EU mean that, starting on March 6, 2024, Google needs your consent if you want to keep these services linked. When linked, they can share data with each other and with all other Google services to :
Things to know : Other settings let you control whether you see personalized content or ads. Linking Google services is not about sharing your data with third-party services.
What data is used : All types of personal data described in Google's Privacy Policy can be shared across linked Google services.
What's not changing : Even if they're not linked, Google services can always share data with each other to prevent fraud and abuse, effectively help you complete tasks, and for certain other purposes.
You're in control. You can change your choices anytime in your Google Account. Choices will take effect on March 6, 2024. Learn more about linked services. (I don't have the link to transcribe).

Oh man thank you I always forget, sorry, didn't think about it.
Just dont use screenshots if not needed.
Btw what censor tool is that?
Ha ha none, that's me getting creative so you guys have something pretty to look at while also hiding my personal info. I can't help myself starting to doodling away when I go to delete shit with GIMP.
But I will always prefer screenshots because I think it is more impactful and provides visual context to show what's going on, a picture says more than a thousand words as it were.
Good human
