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 :)

I don't think that's actually very many people. Not for their personal computers. Most people don't run much more than a web browser, if they don't play games.
People tend to use the stuff they're already used to. They could probably use Linux but if they buy a Laptop which has Windows preinstalled and they're used to Windows it's hard to get them to make the jump
