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 :)

Never sign in anywhere, or at least with fake, temporary accounts.
When ordering things send it to a pickup point, not home address. Preferable by fake name, but hopefully they don't want to see your ID.
Use a privacy focused email server.
Clear cookies after you leave a website, install an addon to generate a fake random browser fingerprint.
Never go on any website where you enter your real name and address.
Be sure to renew your vpn public ip address often. Be sure you can trust your vpn provider.
Turn off WiFi and Bluetooth when going outside your house so they cant track you that way. Stores do that nowadays.
Avoid being seen by public security camera's.
Make sure your friends and family don't post and tag your face or name anywhere.
Hope your cellphone provider, isp, healthcare provider, etc don't sell your personal data.
Basically impossible to not get tracked at all, but you can get quite far.
