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 :)

I don't understand how being used makes it better.
I would prefer to recommend Riseup or even Disroot instead.
I don't know about Riseup. After what happened in 2016 (click), I've been kind of wary of them.

Ah, good to know. Thanks.
What about Posteo?
They promote to use clean energies but as far I know, their services are provided with propietary software or it is mostly unknown.
Edited: At least in their e-mail service they promote to be fully open source, the only issue is that they references to the client side later when referencing js licenses which makes it a bit sad.
I didn't see any other mention to FLOSS.
