Interest based ads that everyone who has connected to the same wifi as you will now see. And it’s not just interest based ads. They will use this to calculate your whole personality and manipulate you and others based on that.

My PiHole would beg to differ.

Every house needs a PiHole. I set mine up years ago and haven’t touched it since.

I should probably update it.

I’m happy to assist anyone on my wifi with installing an adblocker.

And unless google is using my data to hang a personalised billboard on my way to work, I’m not gonna be seeing any of them.

For those who can’t go this far, there are ad blocking DNS services (although you’ll have to trust the provider instead of relying on yourself)

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 :)
