This is my idea for a business, for which I'm not tech-savvy enough to carry out. It's called OtherYou. It's a sort of mass data-poisoning scheme to create a double of your digital life on all platforms, but with completely bogus or conflicting PII. So if you were a 40-something, Asian-American engineer living in D.C., we would want to make a digital "double" with the primary key datapoint of your name/email the same, but all the other PII is shifted, and it would be a 20-something African-American pilot living in Miami. This would throw off/distort tracking and enhance privacy, in my view.
