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

I'm quite surprised Proton would use Gizmodo as a source. A quote from their articles first paragraph: "[as] Apple and Google beef up privacy".

I guess they mean all the tech companies try to block each other so that they collect all the data themselves...
