So, I’ve been on Lemmy since the great Reddit exodus a couple years ago, and back on Reddit though, there were discussions on Data Poisoning, where since it was nigh unto impossible to keep your data private, people would poison their data with all sorts of extraneous information, so companies couldn’t tell what data was accurate and what wasn’t.
But, here on Lemmy, I haven’t seen any discussions about the topic. Are people still poisoning their data? Why haven’t I seen any discussions about it? Is it still discussed, just not on the instances I’ve seen?
I forget the name but there was/is an add on that obfuscates your data by clicking on every ad and searching random things in the background. Im sure something similar could be made for this.
The extension you’re thinking of is AdNauseum, been using it instead of uBlock origin for a while, iirc it’s built on top of ublock as well
