If the poisoning is obvious to the intended recipient, at some stage it will also be obvious to anybody collecting enough (poisoned) data on them.
This is a bit like the spam / spam filter arms race.
- hrjet 13y agoYeah, human recipients and snoopers would both be able to filter out the poison. But it would make automated collection difficult. Another idea could be a reverse captcha. All messages by default could be coded as images. (Hey in fact I think this is a brilliant idea if I say so myself!) Combine that with poisoning, and we can be safe from automated collection for atleast a decade. Combine that with encryption and other security measures and that would be awesome. In fact I am on a idea spree. What if messages were encoded with a captcha? Enter the captcha to decode the message. This encoding is purely to eliminate automated collectors and indexers. Spam is easier to tackle since a spammer can be tainted for ever. But a poisoned feed still needs to be processed every single time
