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 :)

Break free from Google with buying Google product? Lol
Ironic but true
Meh, there are better phones that actually support an open source community.
Fairphone with e/os has been working pretty awesome for me.
If what you care about is security though, nothing comes close to Graphene.
I care more about privacy and freedom.
Graphene has that too tho. Not sure how /e/OS is more private or free.
e/OS is fantastic, IodeOS also IMO, plenty good choices. LineageOS with rethinkDNS in whitelist only mode is also amazing
And for extra goodness supporting open source apps without trackers
All without handing yet more $$$ to nasty google, imagine that
There's no reason not to buy a second hand Pixel.
other than a burning hatred for google that prevents you from participating in keeping the resale market high. lol
