Poison your data 
οΈ@alice How do?

We ALL have superpowers, darling, we just have to look within.
*looks within ... urgh

Poison your data οΈ
@alice Oh, I'm here right to poison minds.

Haha, you'd like my mother, the guerilla witch. She makes customer cards in every shop and switches them then with other people, bonus points if both have a strongly different consumer profile.
When she's bored, she responds maliciously questionnaires of evil corporations.
She studied psychology and statistics and says "it is anyway horribly difficult to get useful answers out of these marketing datasets, why not make it a bit harder for them?"

The goal is to make corporate data less profitable.
Even stuff as simple as setting your birthdate to 1970-01-01 everywhere, adding [TEST] or [DELETED] as your name or account notes anywhere you don't need them to know your name.
Using plugins like AdNauseam to poison ad trackers (and cost them marketing dollars).
Using VPNs set to different locations.
Signing into data broker sites to "correct" outdated info (they'll often let you do that with little-to-no proof of identity, but will require your passport or state ID in order to delete your info). Bonus points if you correct it to someone else's info on their site that's similar to yours.
Only fill in required fields when you sign up for anything, but only provide correct info if it matters for you to use the service, otherwise provide plausible, but incorrect, data.
If you use LLMs anywhere, use the free tier and always vote thumbs up for bad answers and down for good ones. It wastes their resources and drives up their costs while making their training data worse.

@alice got to show my ignorance here, but how do I find which brokers have my info?!

I've been using mobile phone numbers from the list of numbers reserved for creative works (in Australia), when a form requires me to enter a phone number.

@alice "Fold your punch cards"!

@alice Enter your name as [object Object] and let them try to find a bug.

@alice when i have to use a web app to order food, e.g. CoolBurgz (fictional) i will always put my email as e.g.
coolburgz@coolburgz.coolburgz
usually counts as valid.

Hi, this is relevant to my interests. Is there a full set of instructions available for the data broker part of it or is that something I should just go look up?
Thanks for your efforts so far...

@alice I've toyed with the idea of setting up a headless Chrome instance to just ask "but why?" to ChatGPT all day to drive up their inference costs.
@theorangetheme @alice always add βpleaseβ and βThanksβ it waste sooooo many tokens. Those words are usually in a different βspaceβ that what you asked

@alice @theorangetheme you can vibe the app, using their shit to create shit to fuck up shit

Poison your data οΈ
@alice wondering vaguely if using 'rm -rf /' would work as a response.

@alice Non-tech-savvy question:
Is there something special about 1970-01-01, or is it just an example of an arbitrary incorrect birthdate? Would it foul things up just as much if I entered, say, 1984-04-01? -

@alice Use a different email address for friggin everything so aggregators can't use it as a primary key.

Not a good idea to poison Data - last time someone did that, he wrote bad poetry.
