This reminds me of when #DeleteFacebook was trending and some people suggested that rather than deleting all of your posts, comments, etc., you instead edit them with fake data about yourself and gibberish so that you throw off anyone mining your data (Facebook, Cambridge Analytica et al.).
I’ve long wanted to implement a browser plug-in which uses Facebook as a data store but posts everything encrypted so it looks like garbage from their perspective.
I figured they would rapidly implement tech to detect that sort of thing and we’d wind up in an arms race I would ultimately lose.
