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 :)

@dessalines weird to see their Wikipedia page reads like an ad https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AU10TIX
Where is your NPOV now NATOpedia?
Good excuse to get editing :)
I have brought NPOV back to several pages that clearly had been polished up by marketing firms. Thankless work, but always rewarding to destroy some astroturfing company's work
Even on Lemmy people think Wikipedia isn't shit.
It can't be trusted.
It wildly depends on the articles/topic, but yes, it's generally not trustworthy. Especially anything politics or corporate, but sometimes articles on objective topics can have issues.
That's garbage.
There have been plenty instances where articles were manipulated.
I tried to edit an article that contained blatant falsehood, my change instantly got reverted, I got banned, and a group of editors tried to dox me. You're right that they watch it like a hawk, but only to make sure nobody corrects their bullshit.
