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 :)

This, so much this. See also joepie91@github: Don't use VPN services.
Good points, especially the fact that IP addresses aren't the only tracking asset. Though I wonder if you only use third party libre clients, obfuscating your IP address can actually work.
Depends on who your adversaries are. First you need to do a threat model analysis. If you really want to have anonymity, you have to use TOR.
I have a super short opsec guide here, appreciate more input: https://wiki.tilde.fun/guide/opsec
Tor is useless.
Nice, elaborate!
