A privacy/security section

[Doqtori]

I'm surprised there isn't one already, I thought this was a tech forum

I'd like to re-quote of what I said here.

"General Discussion" already includes that. Because we discuss about what generally discussed on tech world.

But still, would be like to know why.

Really anything in this forum apart from off-topic and maybe networking could be put under General Discussion.

I just think it could ignite more discussion about it, and it'd be easier to find topics about it.

Hmm, if you're talking about privacy softwares, there's softwares subforum

If you want to talk about privacy as a topic, GD.

or even OT if it doesn't involve tech

 

@piratemonkey have done a privacy guide, it's linked in his signature, and that's a good enough place to discuss privacy

Still not enough content. As its been mentioned anytime someone asks for another subforum, there would first need to be too many topics all around forums about the subject. In that sense, VR is more likely to get its own sub than anything else.

Indeed, the point is that General Discussion encompasses everything that is on-topic to the forum. If we just had General Discussion though, it would be way too much content, so common themes get their own subforum. Privacy and security are important, but there are very few topics about it at the moment so it just doesn't make sense to have a dedicated subforum for it. The more subforums there are, the less discoverable each one becomes, so we don't want to add them without reasonable justification.
