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 :)

Sure it could be the app not going to deny that. It does feel like the app has so much to offer but it's difficult to use. I have heard Magic Earth is good but since this is the privacy community I didn't mention it or compare it to osm since it's not FOSS.
Copying codes from one source into osmand still breaks your privacy though because your using Google so might as well continue using Google. I'm not super paranoid or anything but for privacy sake I'd say unless I can contain my use case to the app (and osm) it doesn't work out.
I hope the entire movement grows ๐
