I wanna know if MATRIX recipients know my IP, and more globally what the recipients know about me (how the matrix protocol works). THX

Hi there,...

Is the Google Services Framework ID (GSF ID) visible and accessible to all apps downloaded on mobile device running on Android 10 or higher? Or is the GSF ID only visible and accessible to privileged apps on the device?

I don’t know if this is the correct community to post this. I have a Smart TV from a Greek manufacturer named TurboX. Not Android TV, Smart TV. This means that it has Internet access, has some pre-installed apps, but I can’t install any other apps on it. The menus thankfully don’t have any ads. However, the Youtube app...

I was watching Eric Murphy’s video on “Privacy faigue” and it certainly provided some food for thought. (www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ab6ryHD_ahQ)...

Idk if anyone had a similar problem before, but I live in EU by the countryside, at first there were only a few but now it happens more and more often to see drones passing over my house, I am sure they are civilian drones because law enforcement has no reason to use them since the area is quiet (and honestly I doubt they would...

Hey Privacy people,...

I am working on a simple static website that gives visitors basic information about myself and the work I do. I want this as a way use to introduce myself to potential clients, collaborators, etc., rather than rely solely on LinkedIn as my visiting card....

It saddens me to admit, but google maps is by far the best maps app, ig all that stalking does come in handy. OSM just doesn’t have nearly as much data or information about certain places...

Hey guys,...

I can’t seem to find an actual currency estimate of how much privacy is actually worth. I see a ton of articles talking about why privacy should be worth more to people or what people would pay for privacy services or how much people would sell their privacy for, but I don’t see anything that gives a value for the privacy...

Due to the recent announcement of Proton moving to a non-profit structure (although not becoming fully non-profit) I’ve decided to take another look at them and really, Proton Unlimited is an enticing offer. However, the fact of everything from mail, to accounts, to storage being in one place is somewhat disconcerting. Also I...

What are your thoughts on filen? I don’t seem to be able to find a community for them here, but it seems like a pretty solid up and coming company for secure cloud storage options.

I’ve seen on TrackerControl this system app (on my grapheneOS) contacting Amazon (amazon.com) and Google (android.clients.google.com, m.youtube.com, play.google.com and www.youtube.com)....

Real question. I would like to know what drives you to hate Apple? (In terms of privacy of course because in terms of price it’s another story).

I heard about silent.link but I want to know if I should trust it....

I was researching WebMail providers, and noticed that most WebMail providers recommended in privacy communities are labelled as proprietary by AlternativeTo....

I’ve recently heard about their services, and others like them, and wanted to know what privacy-focused people thought about them, what experiences they may have had, and whether this was recommended for people who have a footprint they want scrubbing (even if only in part) or not?

Both are interesting choice, which one do you choose?

Note: “relay” is the nostr term while “instance” is the AP/Mastodon/Lemmy term. They are functionally very similar and offer the same abilities to ban annoying users from “public square” type spaces. Moderation works identically....

Hi, while I know the link name may be… self-explanatory. I cannot seem to find any actual information on this link and it was strangely not blocked by my NextDNS(and other services) configuration. I’ll explain the full story here:...
