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 :)

Have you tried to contact them outside of FB?
Perhaps you're just not friends.
I moved to a new town recently. People don't give out their phone numbers to connect. They give out their FB and Instagram accounts. Not having either is perceived as weird.
Hope this helps.
You're in a fucked up town.
That doesn’t help. Also when’s the last time you moved your life?
I already said I recently moved. I've moved 3 times in the past 10 years and it's all the same. Maybe people used Snapchat or Instagram more often than Facebook when I was younger but it's all the same privacy invasive shit.
The majority tolerate it, that's why Meta is so successful as a company.
Hope this helps.
Unfortunately that's like most people outside.
Facebook is something most people have and use to connect because most people don't care about the privacy invasions or manipulative algorithms. It's a fucked up world, not a fucked up town.
