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 :)

MODERATORS
I wouldn't say blindly, rather my heuristic is, the most long term and popular a project is, the less I'll bother.
If I do though get a random script from a random repository, rather than from say Debian official package manager from
main contribsources, then I will check.If it's another repository, say Firefox from Mozilla or Blender then I won't check but I'll make sure it genuinely comes from there, maybe not a mirror or that the mirror does have a checksum that gets validated.
So... investment on verifying trust us is roughly proportional to how little I expect others to check.
