So given this information, how can we poison the results that the trackers get?

  You would need a way to change your fingerprint on every page load I guess?

  Just altering your own browser's fingerprint for each domain won't poison their data (it just makes you anonymous to them). Any data is good data as far as these trackers are concerned. You can devalue their data by collectively sending the same fingerprints, but there is no way to actively poison their databases.

  There have been a couple plugins which try to address this question: Chameleon (https://github.com/ghostwords/chameleon https://github.com/ghostwords/chameleon), which is still in early stages, and FireGloves (https://fingerprint.pet-portal.eu/?menu=6 https://fingerprint.pet-portal.eu/?menu=6), which was built by a research group (not sure it's still supported). Also a great paper on this topic: http://research.microsoft.com/pubs/209989/tr1.pdf http://research.microsoft.com/pubs/209989/tr1.pdf
