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 :)

Another person who thinks Discord is the equivalent of PRISM for China because Tencent helped with funding them? You're welcome to go work for them. They mostly live in Sanfranciso and got a whoping ~5% of their startup money from Tencent.
As a light reminder, Discord has been blocked in China since... 2018?

Nowhere in the post does OP claim that Discord's privacy issues are China related...
Right, he's just super concerned about privacy while speaking in hushed tones without naming anything because... Of privacy gnomes.
None of the other people talking about China owning Discord are here either lol.
Light remind me why china banned it?
Exactly lol. It's such a silly sentiment.
