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 :)

Buy a second hand phone
install a custom ROM / block all the shit corpo stuff
Make an email just for that phone
Get a temp number if needed for registration.
use a prepaid Sim or twillo or something. After registering remove the Sim and only use WiFi.
Install fdroid
install aurora store via fdroid
Install a vpn (próton is free or get mullvad)
force the vpn to always be on
then install Instagram
Dont give the app any permissions and keep private data off the phone.
Put tape over the cameras.
This is the way.
These all sound like good strategies! I’ve found in my experience that platforms sniff out temp / fake emails and phone numbers. I’m sure it can be done , but it isn’t always as easy as a list you just go through. But even so, thank you for the info 👍🙏
