Inspired by the discussion in ‘they already have your data’ I was reminded that AdNauseam exists. I rarely see it mentioned in privacy circles but the idea seems attractive to me, I’ve used it before and since it’s based on uBlock Origin it was just as effective in adblocking and the “poisoning” itself unobtrusive. How do you guys feel about it? Are there reasons it should be avoided?
I used to work for a company that did the kind of data analysis AdNauseam is meant to foil. It doesn’t. If anything, it was kind of a joke around the office because the kind of junk that it throws out is easy to remove with a little statistical filtering. Just one more step in the processing pipeline.
Stick to just entering fake data when you have to enter data.
