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 :)

Just if my parents chose another configuration abt apks in family link (parental controls)
Huh, if your parents are the blocking factor,
how about trying to educate them a bit about F-Droid and data privacy?
Software from F-Droid really is much more privacy/battery/storage friendly. Just open source software, no spyware services bloating up the apps.
Perhaps after some convincing, they'll at least allow you to use F-Droid and Aurora Store! :)
3xodus can help with convincing them:
It shows known trackers (= spyware) in applications.
ClassyShark does it by de-compiling the apps and scanning them on the fly.
Their website shows reports by other users that scanned applications.
Nearly everything from the PlayStore contains trackers, while nearly nothing from F-Droid does.
