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 :)

My only problem with Graphene is that it only works on Pixel phones, which means supporting Google.
Note that most mobile banking apps will not work without Google services installed, no matter what you use, so you give up privacy just by using those.
Always buy second hand. You'll save the environment, save some cash and avoid enriching google all at the same time.
Doesn't have to be an old one either. You can find Pixels on eBay that have a few weeks or months use or unwanted upgrades.
