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 :)

For open street map, Magic Earth is decent, though it is proprietary. They still have a good privacy policy and aren't in the advertising business so its clearly a step up from Google maps.
Thanks! I'll have a look!
Haha! I've always avoided the proprietary OSM clients because it's not 100% FOSS. But you're right! It's still better than Google Maps.
OSMAnd and the fork of MAPS.ME are FLOSS.
However, in the first one, avoid the nonfree complements and services (Mapillary is an example).
Have you tried Organic Maps yet? (I believe this is the "fork of maps.me" referenced in this thread)
You are all amazing!!!
I'm going to try out these suggestions over the next few weeks and put together a post with my experience.
