I’m always curious whether using privacy software somehow marks us as higher value targets such that what metadata we do end up leaking is given disproportionate focus for advertisers and whatnot. Joke’s on them: I’m using the foolproof technique of strategic poverty.
Sadly strategic poverty only works against those who want to make you buy something. It does very little (and in fact may make things worse) against actors who want to know if they should target you for not being white/straight/wealthy, etc.

I have found this app. Kind an “intelligent agent” (marketing speech) that poisons the data collectors databases with noise. They’re going to have a hard time to find out which of the online actions were eeally from me or my new nice “agent” creating noise.
A little disengenuous considering the article is a blatant plug for e/OS. They’re not wrong though. It might be written plainly enough to share with average Joes who just don’t understand the threat data harvesting poses to them.
