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 :)

@ShellMonkey Be careful, obfuscation isn't encryption!
And no, there doesn't need to be a publicly shared token! Take a look at how simplexchat does it!

Right, I just use the term sometimes to say hiding things, even if it's hidden via encrypting it.
Will have to delve into the papers for simplex later here, but in the end there needs to be some type of known identity to pin a communication to, otherwise you've already breached the confidentiality point of the security triad by not authenticating the recipient.
