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 :)

Oh no, won't someone think of the email addresses?!
Guys. IP addresses, and email addresses...aren't really private things.
Not everyone throws their E-Mail at every Text field they see.
Funny because of the "not a paywall" on the article which the intent is to force the user into providing their email address to read the entire article.
Idk, being that "that's so they can sell your email," I'm inclined to argue that it is a paywall, the currency is just "email" not "USD."
The entire point of a web browser is to allow scum to:
endlessly throw loginwalls and paywalls at us
load dodgy third party sites libraries
insisting on kyc as an act to show and display continuous acts of compliance
So not surprising the linked site has either a login or paywall.
Forcing a phone number is kyc. kyc is obnoxious.
