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 :)

Then don't use it. I don't use Facebook every day.
People who want to use FB every day (that doesn't include me) shouldn't have to choose between targeted ads, and excessively high pricing.
They could have continued non-targeted ads or made the pricing reasonable
People who want to use Facebook can pay, deal with ads, or just not use the site. This isn't some huge scandal and nothing is really wrong here
Why are you on c/Privacy when you don’t seem to care about data tracking and forced targeted ads?
Because I browse the root website and don't pay any attention to the sub communities. Are you wanting to speak exclusively to like minded individuals who never criticize or oppose your thoughts?
Fair enough I suppose, just expect backlash here when you're advocating for Meta arguably shitty things
