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 :)

Am I the only one noticably receiving more adds on duck duck go last few days/week?
I feel like the adds and the AI response thing make it much worse.

Just FYI, duckduckgo has an agreement with Microsoft regarding ads.

You can turn off ads in DDG settings. Better yet, use an adblocker like everyone should.
