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 :)

Eh, if i wanted to i could scrape various instances and do whatever i want. The question is would i be able to pin information to identities without the accompanying meta data or would i only get a big text corpus.
The benefit of the fediverse is that no instance can sell the whole package, because most instances only have the posts of most users and nothing more. Reddit has way more additional data that can be used to track and identify someone.
