SimplyNews Instances
Privacy-focused news aggregator instances
SimplyNews provides privacy-focused news aggregation through public instances that collect content from multiple sources and present it without tracking or algorithmic filtering. This directory helps you find instances suitable for staying informed without compromising your privacy.
Available Access Methods
Privacy-Focused News Infrastructure
SimplyNews instances operate by fetching news content from various sources and serving it through privacy-respecting interfaces. When you read news through an instance, you access the instance's cached or proxied copy of articles rather than connecting directly to news websites, preventing those sites from tracking your reading habits.
Different instances may curate different source lists, focusing on specific regions, languages, or topical areas. This diversity allows you to choose instances that match your information needs while maintaining a consistent privacy approach across your news consumption.
The aggregation model breaks the direct relationship between your reading habits and the commercial incentives of news platforms. Without tracking individual readers, news sites cannot build detailed profiles of your interests, political views, or information-seeking behavior that might be monetized or shared with third parties.

Effective Use Cases
SimplyNews instances are valuable for staying informed about current events without building a tracked record of your news consumption patterns. Use them to read about politics, business, technology, and other topics without contributing to profiles that might be used for targeted advertising or influence operations.
For researching sensitive topics through news sources—political movements, legal issues, controversial events, or topics that might reveal private concerns—SimplyNews prevents news platforms from associating these interests with your identity or using them to infer personal characteristics.
When you want to consciously control your information diet rather than relying on algorithmic recommendations, SimplyNews provides transparency in how content is organized and presented. This allows you to choose what to read based on your own judgment rather than predictions made by recommendation systems.
