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 :)

Apart from the list of items being somewhat generic and IP address just being unobtainable as someone else pointed out, it's just saying that they get data about users by means of the normal functioning of federation. It's ok in the same way as the server that originally hosts this community we are posting to (lemmy.ml) necessarily getting user data from our "home" servers we are posting from (feddit.de, sopuli.xyz), is ok. This is how we want it to work.
