@alice got to show my ignorance here, but how do I find which brokers have my info?!
@apriloq that's easy! They all do!
But they're also very incestuous, so poisoning one will often cause a trickle down their pantleg to the next one who is thirsty for your data.
An easy way to start finding targets is to google your name, then explore the links you didn't sign up for.
Sites like:
- Spokeo
- BeenVerified
- Intelius
- TruthFinder
- MyLife
- Whitepages -
@djtoebeans @isol I use the nearby pizza place's number for my loyalty cardsβas do a lot of other people.

@theorangetheme I'd love to make a bot that just hits all the big LLMs and corporate "help" bots, and simply shuffles their answers to each other randomly, then randomly up or downvotes the replies.
Distant memories of hooking together two ELIZA instances...

Hi, this is relevant to my interests. Is there a full set of instructions available for the data broker part of it or is that something I should just go look up?
Thanks for your efforts so far...
@resister check out the list of brokers here: https://github.com/optery/optery-data-brokers-directory
Removal is a game of whack-a-mole (as they regularly just reimport or purchase data from each other if there's a gap). That's why poisoning is more effective.

Thanks @alice and everybody else for the info shared!
@zavaj you're welcome!

@theorangetheme @alice always add βpleaseβ and βThanksβ it waste sooooo many tokens. Those words are usually in a different βspaceβ that what you asked
@nickynah them's just good manners! I find it's also helpful to upload my favorite random cat photos until I hit the attachment limit. I mean, who doesn't like cat photos?

@Irenetherogue sure! There are low tech ways to do itβjust lie...to every corporation, app, and marketer you can. Make it plausible, but wrong.
Bonus: include something wildly implausible once in a while. It makes folx more likely to overlook the subtle ones.
@alice @Irenetherogue Nightshade or Glaze every picture you have prior to posting online (I just posted several here if you'd like to share them.)

@alice Use a different email address for friggin everything so aggregators can't use it as a primary key.

The goal is to make corporate data less profitable.
Even stuff as simple as setting your birthdate to 1970-01-01 everywhere, adding [TEST] or [DELETED] as your name or account notes anywhere you don't need them to know your name.
Using plugins like AdNauseam to poison ad trackers (and cost them marketing dollars).
Using VPNs set to different locations.
Signing into data broker sites to "correct" outdated info (they'll often let you do that with little-to-no proof of identity, but will require your passport or state ID in order to delete your info). Bonus points if you correct it to someone else's info on their site that's similar to yours.
Only fill in required fields when you sign up for anything, but only provide correct info if it matters for you to use the service, otherwise provide plausible, but incorrect, data.
If you use LLMs anywhere, use the free tier and always vote thumbs up for bad answers and down for good ones. It wastes their resources and drives up their costs while making their training data worse.
@alice These posts all remind me of a 20 year old Canadian novelty song.
"You see now Wal-Mart thinks I'm 75 year old pensioner
And Sony thinks I'm a single mother of 10
The airline company thinks I make 700-grand a year
And Visa thinks I'm an Inuit woman named Ben" -
@alice I like to select wrong answers on captchas until I get bored.
Unfortunatey, I just cannot help clicking on every square that has even the tiniest portion of a traffic light or zebra crossing or motorcycle, even if I know that's going to make me fail the test and have to do it again.

@not_a_label @alice Sampling just one of my several domains, I count 330.

Not a good idea to poison Data - last time someone did that, he wrote bad poetry.

@veronica I still chuckle at this one:

@rabidchaos @flesh @alice @aj
If it is treating that null as a proper null there's a good chance there's constraints in place that'll fail and the app won't even check the failure...Which can be fun, or not, depending on if it counts you as logged in after you submit the form or not
