Protect your privacy in the digital world

Welcome! This is a community for all those who are interested in protecting their privacy.

Rules

This includes the instance rules of dbzer0, which can be tl;dr'd to: this is a libertarian socialist space, no right wing nutjobs or tankies are allowed. As for the community rules:

  1. Be nice
  2. No bigotry/prejudice
  3. No tankies/right wingers
  4. Don't promote proprietary software
  5. Stay on topic
  6. No crypto
  7. Don't be a smartass and try to game the system, we'll know if you're breaking the rules when we see it!
  8. If you post news exclusive to a country please name it. (This isn't a bannable rule, but just a recommendation :) )

How can we be sure a program respects privacy if it's closed source? Anyone can put any kind of malicious code in a closed source program and nobody would ever know.
