Comment on Is it possible to make my data worthless?
Chunk@lemmy.world 8 months agoIt depends on who you’re hiding from. If you want to keep the GRU off your back then burner phones sound great. If I don’t want Google to know too much about me then burner phones, generic credit cards, and tor are probably overkill.

Yeah was just trying to make the personal data worth as little as possible.
Any site you use a card on will link you in Nexus. That stuff is gold.
Even the best privacy browsers leave a fingerprint. You can run the acid test and see how unique you are. Even Firefox private browsing isn’t enough to disassociate your traffic from non private.
The problem with VPN is it’s somewhat static. Tor spreads your crap out.
But as you say, it’s who you’re trying to hide from. If you don’t want anyone to profit of you, you hide from them all as much as you can.

You made me think that there should be a private tor-inspired VPN. Users pay money to the VPN company and that VPN company pays 3rd parties to build out their network.
