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 :)

How confident are you that this stolen private data won't become a tool against you at some point ? I'm not talking about hackers and impersonators (which are huge problems on their own), but anything you do could be used against you in a fascist regime.
If the records of Jewish people didn't exist prior to WW2, the Jew extermination wouldn't have been so easy. To consider that what you do or who you are won't be something you or your descendants would be oppressed for in the future is a very dangerous bet.
By protecting my privacy I'm not taking any chances, and it's actually making my life better through not being targeted by ads. Why would I do things differently?
