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 :)

Imagine that someone has made a false accusation about you and it becomes part of your online profile.
Within less than a day, maybe even before you aware of the claim, every major online database has marked you as being something that you are not.
Who do you call to correct it?
Will a correction fix it?
Will the false information even get deleted?
When you don't control the data, you are always vulnerable.
