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.

- 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 :)

We beat KOSA before, we can beat it again. Contacting your reps matters. Voting matters, especially in primaries and locals. So does being active politically in other ways.

I'm not familiar with American stuff, what is KOSA?
It's the "Kids Online Safety Act". Basically it's using the old "think of the children!" move, but in reality conservatives are trying to push anything queer back into the dark.
Think of the children! Let us scan all of your images, files and messages! For the sake of children of course! Nothing suspicious here...
Just like we beat them trying to take net neutrality, right?
Do you have to pay comcast extra to stream netflix? No? Net neutrality still exists.
This is a bad take. The public wasn't the one that would need to pay Comcast, they would have charged Netflix.
A total breakdown in net neutrality could have very well had that result.
