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 :)

Get a cheap new phone number? Your potential employer will find out your identity eventually when you start working there no? What's the issue with having to use ID to get a new line? You put a fake name on your resume?
There's things like taking privacy too far you know :)
That's exactly the point: get a cheap new phone number, preferrably one that doesn't link back to your identity. And it's typically an online service, otherwise it's not gonna be cheap or private (in my country anyway).
I'd do the opposite from what OP wants: a second line for online platforms.
I don't think avoiding your potential employer seeing you reposting something like fuckworkmemes is taking privacy too far ๐
