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 :)

I'm going to mostly copy paste a similar reply I made in this thread: A fork of Audacity was made called Tenacity. They explain in their history why it was made. Yes, Audacity was bought by Muse Group. There were talks of adding trackers, but nothing ever actually got added. They changed the privacy policy at one point, but reverted it after backlash. The reason I am keeping Audacity there is because I believe it is better to have quick security/feature updates from upstream (Audacity) so long as the upstream project does not have any current code issues that warrant a fork (Tenacity). If Audacity ever does add any telemetry, etc. I will absolutely change it to Tenacity.
I will be creating an FAQ section that answers this question in more depth.
