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 :)

Might sound dumb, but why privacy? All you do here is post publicly random cat photos, it isnt a messenger where you have private conversations.
Seriously. If you are posting private information on any forum, you are doing it wrong. It doesn't matter if that is Twitter, a Lemmy, or a BBS. If it is private information, don't post it publicly.
Also note with private information, assume someone will comb through all of your posts. Is the sum total of what you have released enough to ID you? One post may say what state you live in, another might say you find it funny your city is a name of a founding father, another might say you live a half mile from school and walk, etc, etc. Don't release data points that when summed can ID you.
