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 :)

MODERATORS
Fairly decent advice in my opinion
Except for the statements that Apple is a better option for privacy. Its not.
Any OS or app that is not opensource code can't be trusted.
We should have more "source available, but you still need to pay for it" licenses
Best of both worlds, the company still gets to sell a product, and we can inspect the source, or even submit PR's (and maybe get a little kickback (but that's pie in the sky))
Granted, it's super easy to remove the license restrictions with the source available
Only in term of security/privacy. Not control and freedom. And without freedom to modify, share and reuse software we are in a straight path to the lack of privacy again.
