  The only way to taint your behavioral data so that you don’t get lumped into a targetable cohort is to behave like a manic. As I’ve said in a past comment here, when you fill out forms, pretend your gender, race, and age is fluid. Also, pretend you’re nomadic. Then behave erratic as fuck when shopping online - pay for bibles, butt plugs, taxidermy, and PETA donations.

  Your data will be absolute trash. You’ll also be miserable because you’re going to be visiting the Amazon drop off center with gag balls and porcelain Jesus figurines to return every week.

    ...in the same transaction. It all needs to be bought and then shipped together. Not only to fuck with the algorithm, but also to fuck with the delivery guy. Because we usually know what you ordered. Especially when it's in the soft bag packaging. Might as well make everyone outside your personal circle think you're a bit psychologically disturbed, just to be safe.

      How? Aren’t most items in boxes even in the bags? It’s not like they just toss a butt plug into a bag and ship it…right?

    Other than buying the erratic shit, that’s pretty much who I am. I’ve never been honest on a form and I’m a bit of a nomad.

    I know that back in the day when Facebook guessed your political affiliation and other things they got everything about me hilariously wrong. I’m not a Republican with 3 kids and a hummer. Google seems to get closer with the targeted ads, but honestly not that much closer.

    I can be individually identified, but my identity is garbage and not useful.

    Maybe have a look at using Adnauseam. 👌😁

  The browser addon "AdNauseum" can help with that, although it's not a complete solution.

    That and trackmenot.

    It searches random shit in the background.

      That looks useful for these wanting to track MS rewards points...

      ...if you can get them, that is

  Is there a similar tool that will “poison” my personal tracked data? Like, I know I’m going to be tracked and have a profile built on me by nearly everywhere online. Is there a tool that I can use to muddy that profile so it doesn’t know if I’m a trans Brazilian pet store owner, a Nigerian bowling alley systems engineer, or a Beverly Hills sanitation worker who moonlights as a practice subject for budding proctologists?

  Have you considered just being utterly incoherent, and not making sense as a person? That could work.

  There are programs and plugins you can download that will open a bunch of random websites to throw off tracking programs.

  I guess it depends what your threat model is.

  If you don’t like advertising, then you’re just piling a bunch of extra interests/demographics in there. It’ll remain roughly as valuable as it was before.

  If you’re concerned about privacy and state actors, your activity would just increase. Anything that would trigger state interest would remain, so you’d presumably receive the same level of interest. Worse, if you aren’t currently of interest, there’s a possibility randomly generated traffic would be flagged by your adversary and increase their level of interest in you.
