Obscuration is what you’re thinking and it works with things like adnauseun (firefox add on that will click all ads in the background to obscure preference data). It’s a nice way to smear the data and probably better to do sooner (while the data collection is in infancy) rather than later (where the companies may be able to filter obscuration attempts).
I like it. I am really not a fan of being profiled, collected, and categorized. I agree with others, I hate this time line. It’s so uncanny.
Whatever data profile they already have on your can be obscured to make it useless vs them probably trickling in data.
Think of it like um…
Having a picture of you with a moderate amount of notes that are accurate, vs having a picture of you with so much irrelevant/inaccurate data that you can’t be certain of anything.
