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 :)

No, it's not useless at all, no matter what apps you install. I'd keep using Graphene for the security improvements alone, but it also provides a whole bunch of privacy improvements that are especially useful when using privacy-invasive proprietary applications. Google Play services run in a sandbox, reducing the amount of data they can collect. There will also soon be App Communication Scopes, which will allow you to block inter-process communication individually for each app. Graphene also improves user profiles, making it easier to contain all your proprietary apps within one profile, so they can't access any of your other stuff.
