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 :)

Log in
Scroll down and click on the “Privacy” link at the bottom of the page
then click on the "Privacy settings" link under Data & Privacy
then click on the “Interest-based advertising” (Personalized shopping) field
click on each of the two entries and set the switch to “off” in each case

I'm in the EU, and both the fields are off already.
