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 :)

The trick that the Government has learned is that it's easier and cheaper to buy your location data from a third party.
No warrant necessarily since the data is available to anyone who wants to buy it.
It shouldn't be though. Nothing a company gleans from your use of a product should be available for purchase by any third party. This should have been legislated two decades ago.
That's the best part, all our legislators were bought decades ago.
