How do I poison my data (read body)
I want to poison as much of my online data as I can, and I know that companies can get it anyway if I delete it, but if I were to spam sheer volume, it would cost more than it’s worth to try and sort it.
Dad uses windows and the main device I use is his laptop, and I understand that Microsoft scrapes everything they can. He’s going to reset his laptop soon, so all the junk is erased, but would it be possible to temporarily poison most data on there (from ms perspective) until it’s reset?
Would it be possible to do that on other things too, say corporate owned software, social media, etc?

Do not worry about it, and simply try to not give them much from now on.
Also filling the internet with junk is how our best ever collective project dies. Don't be a part of that.

Kinda like if you had a bunch of bots tied to the same IP as you, and you tell them to generate random searches, click random sites, etc, but never post/comment/vote on anything. They're all tied to the same address, and at some point, it will be to costly to continue stealing data, cleaning it up, and selling it than it will be worth.
They'd either try and clean it up (costs too much, may potentially give up) or stop stealing your data (consumer wins)
I won't spam online, but I don't want corporate having scary accurate info/data about me. I'd only want spam going to corporate, not to people.
Fair, buuuuuuut...

If you hide as much info as you can, whatever info they can get (likely through illegal means) is going to be accurate. They may have less info, but it is all stuff you definitely did (unless you do both methods at once)
What I'm going for is more I prefer to occasionally waste some corporate time, but the user experience isn't worsened rather than I will do whatever it takes to ruin megacorps
Either way, have a great day

AdNauseam comes to mind.
It's a fork of uBlock Origin,
which instead of blocking all the ads,
hides all the ads + clicks on them all in the background, which:
- Costs advertisers a lot of money
- Poisens your data profile, since they can't make up your actual interests anymore
It's more protest-ware then privacy-ware though,
since you'll be overflooding them with bs data,
instead of minimizing the data collected.

I kinda know how to install pihole onto a computer, as in I ran the command on mint once, but I did it slightly wrong potentially

in reply to Camille_Jamal • • •How about fake real data instead? Like maybe there should be a tool that p2p shares real HTML cookies between peers, scrambles them and then serves them sanitized to the browser?
Cuz fuck them, two can play this game.

Looks like an old idea.
