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 :)

Then, just admit it. Fake privacy does not fix that.
Like saying it’s useless to use Tor if you are not on Tails...
I suggest that you just admit you don’t want to help people improve privacy within their means. If they can’t have it all, they should have nothing.
We can spread Tor without lying about Windows or macOS being private or crying over comments showing libre system software.
Do you really block the word "improve" in your head? Not fucking once I claimed commercial OS could be private so you are arguing against your own imagination here.
Yeah, if someone got a phone and he doesn't have the means of getting one compatible with a better OS, I really hope he manages to IMPROVE his privacy with better programs and workarounds. If you however don't give a fuck and think it's useless to try to improve his privacy because the OS is still shit, well, either buy that person a device that can use a better OS or move on, because telling that person to just buy it isn't helping.
Again, paid and unpaid software spies.
Say that to the GrapheneOS devs and they gonna hit with 20 pages talking about sandboxing this and boolean that to show neither the OS nor the Vanadium browser can spy on you and point to all documentation :P
Well, if you say all alternatives from F-Droid are also spying, we don't have much to talk.
Bring them here. I'll tell them too.
