It's easier to change your ISP - even in the US - than it is for your data not to land in Google's or Facebook possession somehow whether it's through web site tracking, its own services, or partnerships with hardware manufacturers and other data companies.
- paulie_a 8y agoIt is not that easy to change ISPs in the US because in a lot of cases you don't have options. But you can do one thing. Randomly click an ad and destroy their prescious data and metrics. while reading an article that has thirty fucking ads, I'll click one or two. it has gotten interesting what pops up now. The ads sucked before. Ad tech has not improved in 20+ years. It's delusional of sv to think it has. There is nearly a generation of people working on it, and the end result is low quality ads as if it was 1999.
- oraclesun 8y agoThere's a great extension, AdNauseam, that automatically clicks every ad in the background for you. Google shut them down from Chrome, of course: https://www.fastcompany.com/3068920/google-adnauseam-ad-blocking-war https://www.fastcompany.com/3068920/google-adnauseam-ad-bloc...
