Poison your data οΈ
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Signing into data broker sites to "correct" outdated info (they'll often let you do that with little-to-no proof of identity, but will require your passport or state ID in order to delete your info).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 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.

@alice If you're selfhosting, have a look a iocaine: https://iocaine.madhouse-project.org/
If you upload pictures, maybe nightshade would be the right tool: https://nightshade.cs.uchicago.edu/userguide.html

@Irenetherogue sure! There are low tech ways to do itβjust lie...to every corporation, app, and marketer you can. Make it plausible, but wrong.
Bonus: include something wildly implausible once in a while. It makes folx more likely to overlook the subtle ones.

@theorangetheme ha! thats so good.

@theorangetheme I'd love to make a bot that just hits all the big LLMs and corporate "help" bots, and simply shuffles their answers to each other randomly, then randomly up or downvotes the replies.

@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.

@alice @theorangetheme I once built a fuzz testing tool that "randomly" shuffled input around and tested it against things. "does my input validation survive utterly batshit inputs?"
Feeding the inputs through something like that would make sure they can't cache answers.

a fair bit of the advice in here seems really good, but from what I know, AdNauseam isn't really worth using over just uBO
at least as of when I last looked into it a couple years ago: it uses more resources on your machine, doesn't really make any significant difference for the companies, and the high volume of "clicks" from you just makes you far more trackable since no normal person browsing would do so
also, I think it might be worth editing the last point to say "hopefully none of you are using LLMs, but if you're someone who does..." π©΅

@alice NULL is also a good answer for when you don't want to give out a particular personal detail.
Aside from phone, date of birth, and email, most of the time the front end form fields will accept NULL as an answer.
