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 :)

MODERATORS
Simple filterlists, by definition, only work for a short time. Maybe a specific userscript can help. There are also Extensions, which redirect to articles about the same content to sites without paywall, like Unpaywall do, which is maybe the best option.
In Firefox, to use userscripts, you need to install first an Userscript Manage, like Tampermonkey, Violentmonkey, etc. which you find in the Mozilla Store. In Vivaldi it isn't needed, simply download the script to a folder (don't delete it) and drag it to the Extension Page in Developer mode in the Browser, to install it directly as an extension.
