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 :)

Not really but it does anguish me to think about it and has forced me to reconsider how I'm going to use the internet going forward. That open access to it can be taken away at any moment and now is the time to start downloading what I can.
We already see certain countries where websites require you to create an account linked to your ID in order to post, or even scroll further than a page down. It can happen here too. Of course, it's not going to change how I'm going to do my banking or work since anything I do for those is already attached to my real name. But it could be the end of my forum activity and browsing of "unfavorable topics" as I know it.
