Deliberate obfuscation. Change the way you talk over time. Change your users and passwords. Even go so far as to say things that aren't the slightest bit true but can't be differentiated one way or another. Create a matrix of plausible personas you could possess and never let on to which sum of them you really are.
- Nextgrid 7y agoWouldn’t it be better to shape the world in such a way that those techniques aren’t needed? Don’t work for nasty companies, don’t invest in them, don’t do business with them and lobby the government to outlaw tracking & stalking.
- Mirioron 7y agoI don't think that's going to work in the long run. You can't stop technological progress.
- Nextgrid 7y agoYou can’t stop progress, but you can stop it being used for certain purposes, and laws mostly work as long as they’re enforced correctly.
- thatoneuser 7y agoI don't do that and the companies still exist. You can't stop that so this is the only choice :/
- jocoda 7y ago> ... shape the world ... For the first time we probably have the technology that could help realize something like this if we knew what the shape should look. Unfortunately we will never have that because that would mean the shaping had already been done. Then again, if you think about it, maybe the shaping has been done and the shapers already have what they want... > ... tracking and stalking I think governments have a vested interest in being able to track
- wmeredith 7y agoPeople are bad at stuff like this.
- ohaideredevs 7y agoThis is not at all viable in real life, unless you have overwhelming motivation to do so, it's your one priority in life, and you are willing to lose out on a lot of things to do so.
