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.

- 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 :)

It's only difficult because you're making it difficult. There is a balance between security and convenience, and you choose where you want to land on that spectrum. If that means Google products are useful to you, then just use them.
When your job suddenly rolls out G-Workspace or Office Online without you knowing and you come to work to a Google account with all your personal data, already out of your control, is it really a choice?
Have a job or your data. The stakes are becoming increasingly high.
"If it's useful, just use them" is an option, in some circumstances. In some, unfortunately, that doesn't apply. Is keeping your job a "convenience"?
Don't mean to attack you personally, just want to share my thoughts on the level erosion of privacy to Big Tech.
Don't put your personal info in a work account, regardless of whether it's local or cloud.
Advice that has been valid forever. Don't mix your personal life with work. That includes software, mobile phones, computers.
