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 :)

Free speech for corporations and advertisers. For users is the paywall as adblocker. For this screenshot, Memes is a better place.
Literally asking you to pay for free speech jfc
Paid speech!
If you don't read our ads you don't believe in free speech?
Who are you lying to? Your Adblock definitely is because you don't want ads, not for privacy.
biggest bullcrap seen until now
It's a false dichotomy to manipulate users, they're so dumb lmao.
Advertisements are pretty specifically not free.
Good Independent journalism requires money. You can't have everything for free you know. If you want to keep your privacy then you should pay for the news sources that you read.
Edit: I'm not american I do not know if USA today is good journalism or not. I am speaking more generally
