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 :)

Adblockers block ads, not posts. Fucking Facebook is trying to gaslight you into killing your adblocker by blocking your friends posts themselves and then blaming you for it.
Youtube has a lot of unique content, some of it valuable. Facebook has very little of value. Like, just go home Facebook, no one cares, you're drunk.
Even if they were blocking posts, it'll be because FB purposely wrapped them to look like an Ad
Or a friend shared paid content?
Yeah, Facebook can not know when your adblocker is blocking those posts, unless they did it themselves.
Facebook has groups, and unfortunately, that's a pretty important feature. The car groups I belong to are hardcore track drivers and DIYers that share knowledge (problems and resolutions, alignment specs, tire and wheel experiences, custom parts, parts swaps, etc) and independent manufacturers who make stuff that isn't otherwise easily available.
Until there is a solid replacement for that, I can't get rid of Facebook proper.
