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 :)

MODERATORS
This is the first browset to implement something like that. I don't know what you're talking about and you don't either apparently.
Safari refers to it as "Privacy-Preserving Ad Measurement", and Chrome includes an option as part of its "Privacy Sandbox." Please have the decency to do a basic google search before being an asshole :)
Chrome's privacy sandbox is a very different protocol from Mozilla's PPA protocol. I haven't read about Safari's variant so I don't know if that's a copy/paste of Chrome's or it's own protocol
The big difference between Privacy Sandbox (previously Topics API and before that FLoC) and PPA is that Google's "solution" still tracks the user while Mozilla's just tracks the ads and gives aggregate data to the advertiser
