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 :)

I think you should clarify the problem first.
Privacy? You lose your privacy the moment you publish your blog anyway.
Is it visibility? You never expected Google to show your blog in most cases.
AI training? You could self-host and hope companies respect your robot.txt. But what's the actual problem if you released your blog to the public in the first place? Anybody could've copy & pasted your blog also before this AI era.
Privacy is of course my major concern, hence posting to this community. But not tinfoil hat level.
I'm happy to have my stuff indexed by Google, in fact, I want it to be.
I'll take that for 500!
Plagiarism has been an issue since before Confucius was copied by Baffledus. But the cream still rose to the top. However in this AI era, everything is buried as its all just considered a part of the source data.
Stories keep popping up about AI ignoring robots.
But... have we ever had privacy with blog articles? I mean the public ones.
I guess it comes down to what your definition of privacy is. I'm setting the bar low, I just don't want to be used to train a large language model
Oh, right, I'm gonna just reinstall facebook on the phone because I've lost everything... Oh and we have lost all of privacy by commenting on the internet and stepping out of the house! All resistance is futile! We need to close this community before people waste more of their time!
This is not at all how it works. How would you lose privacy if you only publish what you want to publish? It's entirely your decision what to include in your blog post.
You're right, but I was talking specifically about blogs.
