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

Is there also a privacy focused alternative to yelp? I’d like to know the ratings of a business before I start driving.
There are organizations that purport to be Yelp alternatives, such as Open Reviews Association, but I haven't seen anything with widespread integration or adoption. It's a cool idea nonetheless.
This is honestly the only thing I use gmaps for too. I feel like organic and other map apps are useful, but there are very few others for looking up restaurant/business info with the ease of gmaps
Is yelp even reliable? No bots?
Bots are not the problem, yelp's own business practices are.
Pretty sure they’re able to rank votes differently based on how sure they are a person is a person.
Well, recaptcha has trouble with this.
