It has finally happened…not surprised though.
It’s not quite enough for me, personally, but this is a small step in the right direction....

I miss the days of VHS and DVD shelfs in homes, for example. If you bought the tapes and had them in your home, no corporate entity could alter those tapes without your consent, monitor how many times you watch them, sell your data to whomever they please without your knowledge, roll out new mandatory conditions to a ‘user...

I have my personal blog, made with Hugo and hosted on GitHub pages. Initially I did not turn on any kind of web tracking / web analytics, because I do not like tracking at all. But I want to make my blog better and to achieve it, I need a feedback loop about traffic. For example, what are the most popular publications, or how...
The Federal Trade Commission’s Office of Technology has issued a warning to automakers that sell connected cars. Companies that offer such products “do not have the free license to monetize people’s information beyond purposes needed to provide their requested product or service,” it wrote in a blog post on Tuesday.

This measure is not linked with specific individuals and is further anonymized using a technology called OHTTP to ensure it can’t be connected with user IP addresses....
Does 4chan respects user privacy? How much data are they collecting? Are they selling/sharing it with 3rd parties? I’m asking because it’s not possible to post anonymously (each individual post being anonymous without your username visible) on lemmy, and users here told me I could check out 4chan for this feature....

I’m using multiple browsers, so for each browser I use different VPN connection, but mullvad doesn’t let me.
Lemmy admin should add option in the account settings for hiding your username from your posts/comments, and hiding your profile from the public, so noone would be able to see all of your posts in your profile page, and even if someone is using a tool for scrapping posts, they wouldn’t be able to link the posts to 1 user,...

This is probably not the right community but I haven’t found a better one....
I have been pro privacy and anti data harvesting for many years now, however it is becoming increasingly more difficult staying off some platforms. Mostly Meta....
Hi, I was planning to encrypt my files with GPG for safety before uploading them to the cloud. However, from what I understand GPG doesn’t pad files/do much to prevent file fingerprinting. I was looking around for a way to reliably pad files and encrypt metadata for them but couldn’t find anything. Haven’t found any...
I’ve been feeling uneasy about the privacy implications of using Lemmy and similar platforms. The ability for anyone to view your entire posting history feels to me like publicly sharing my browser history. In contrast, most other social media platforms allow you to limit your feed visibility to just friends or followers....
