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 :)

Outlook and Gmail have always been data collection tools, apart from being spam magnets
Weirdly enough, I have had less spam mail on my gmail account, than I have on the account of an e-mail provider from my country.
Anyway, Gmail is a no go. From Google TOS
As said, they read and analyze your mail, mainly to sell it to advertizing companies. Google make money with this.
In my country popular free email providers send many spam messages to users by themselves, so inbox looks much worse than in gmail.
