    In September 2021, every active contributor unanimously agreed to move from PrivacyTools to work on another site: Privacy Guides. This decision was made because PrivacyTools’ founder and controller of the domain name had disappeared for an extended period of time and could not be contacted.

    If you want to learn more about the move, please read our FAQ.

    I believe it’s related to privacyguides.org. The team behind it lost contact with the domain owner of privacytools.io and to continue the project needed to create a new domain.

    I believe that’s the story if I recall correctly.

        That particular article is full of misinformation, lies and water muddying. There are bald-faced lies within that post including all of the rubbish about the donations which I addressed here and here.
