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'm already using the Shadowsocks bridge in Mullvad. If things get more serious, I'll do some research and consider switching to Tor with either obfs4 or WebTunnel on Tails, and Snowflake on mobile.
Yes, this way they need 2 seconds more to track you, if they want. TOR is the most monitored Network by all security agencies and secret services, it was created by these. I2P is maybe somewhat more secure. Decentralized network is anyway the future, also P2P communications.
I2P is brilliant, yes, but I can't use it for clearnet sites.
Besides, in this case I would be using it purely for tunneling without detection by my ISP. Anonymity would be more of a bonus.
I feel like people like you and me end up helping people who actually need anonymity - by creating a larger crowd :)
I2P certainly is not the clearnet, but if they continue to contaminate the clearnet with massive surveillance, there are not much more alternatives if you don't want to go back to communicate with Finger commands like in the 70th (still works, see also this)
