Hi, I'd like to raise concerns about third-party Q&As and discuss them.
This is independent from stackexchange. (I don't mind using stackexchange) Points regarding third-party operated and/or hosted Q&As Advantages: - No server costs - No bandwidth costs - No installing or updating software - Little or no set-up time - Censors might not block the Q&A while TPO is blocked - Q&A staff helps out (might or might not be the case) Disadvantage: - Fees (might or might not be the case) - No encryption (might or might not be the case) - No control about personal data - No control about advertising - No control about data-mining, tracking - Could be gone -> Deleted, because of $reason -> Filed for bankruptcy -> Bought by Google, then shut down - Tor could be banned by the service - Rules can change -> No anonymous questions allowed anymore -> If you search more than two question you have to register Maybe there's more, but this is probably enough to discuss about and raise general awareness.
