Noise-drowning only works against profiling that's set up with intent to measure you, rather than punish you.
I'm afraid, in autocracies and dictatorships, it takes one "me" profile (that could be not even mine) that said something out of current goodthink to be persecuted. Just look at what's going on in Russia.
The key point of those "we'll be using AI to monitor everything you publish" announcements is not in even it its directly stated goal. It's in the chilling effects this creates, making people avoid expressing their opinions except for unquestionably safe ones.

Either you participate and connect with people - and nearly inevitably leave information that can be used to build profiles, or you voluntarily exclude yourself from it. Sterile online profiles do not facilitate connections.
