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
Why is it not actually in F-droid? They want me to install a private repo? Has it been audited or is this a shill?
F-Droid doesn't want to host Molly because Signal doesn't want any forks on F-Droid. Seriously, that's the whole reason. Molly devs would be fine with it.
Molly is actually reproducible and has a fully FOSS version, so it is trustworthy.
Is that because Signal has trackers in it and F-Droid would remove them?
Wait, Signal dev forced f-droid admins not to upload Molly to its official repo? How?
No. The F-Droid team just doesn't want beef with the Signal guys.
That's a good question, It really should be in the main repository.
