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 :)

techlore?
Naomi Brockwell?
not so "horrible", i think
did he? when, where? context?
techlore is an up to date privacy source for me. Their commentary on recent events is sometimes helpful
That's a very lazy follow-up to quite a broad claim. Please do provide evidence.
I've been following their content pretty closely, and I do not recall anything of that sort. They did recommend iPhone over stock Android, which is accurate.
So until you can produce a source to that claim, I call horseshit.
Not how this works, mate, but you do you.
The rules of rational discourse are centuries old. But if you need them spelled out once more, here they are: If you claim shit, you back it up with evidence. If you can't or find weird excuses why you shouldn't have to, people will legitimately call you out on making shit up.
Case in point: I think you made a case for torturing fluffy little ducklings with red-hot pokers in the past. You're a bad person for doing so. I can't find a source right now that proves you did it, but I'm sure it's somewhere in your post history. So unless you prove you didn't say that (which is impossible, btw), I expect you and everyone else here to accept my claim as true.
and even if you do give them a source, they just reject it because it doesn't come from a propaganda mouthpiece.
sealioning must be the bane of social media
Also you didn't even say that Techlore definitely 100% said that, you asked "isn’t techlore the one who said iphones are better for privacy than even linux computers?" and the redditor could answer "He didn't you are remembering it wrong/Yeah he is the one who said that/I don't know"
I mean yes I could see that for average person. Nothing makes a Linux computer private. You can still use chrome. Allow ads to track you, tons of people don't use ad blockers. I mean saying a default iOS device is can be more private then default Linux PC I could see it.
That seems reasonable. Linux computers are only secure with a skilled user, the average user likely has their privacy better protected by iOS which while slightly weaker on privacy is much more locked down on security.
Even Braxman isn't too bad if you can separate the information from his product advertisements and his... personality.
Don't forget The Hated One.
i haven't heard of the hated one before. I tried to watch this ☞ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AynIIFM2WU but i couldn't get past the "it was i... i said... i was first
3 minutes already and no information.
