How data mining giant Acxiom got me wrong

  Wonder if instead of blocking ads or enabling other traditional privacy measures it is better to flood the system with fake data. Here it happened by accident, but maybe it should happen deliberately.

    For those who don't know, AdNauseam is an example of such a system, implemented as a browser extension. It warns users that it does not protect privacy, though, but it seemed to annoy Google enough that they blocked it on their web store.
