I want to create a few internet alter egos, one for shopping, one for communicating with family, and one for communicating with friends. My goal is to make these accounts the least trackable to advertisers and political parties.
Unfortunately, I don’t even know where to start.
The EFF privacy badger plugin blocks many tracker. That said, the best trick us to use websites which won’t track you. Asking on lemmy rather than Facebook/quora is already a good step
Delete all accounts and start from fresh on a regular and frequent basis. Use VPNs and also change them just as frequently.
Or don’t care about it and just try to be uninteresting to market to, it’s a lot easier
Mentaloutlaw did a great video on this a few years ago, its worth a watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZvkaOV82tc
To be honest: the deeper you go into the hole, the more things you discover that can be used to identify you. At some point you need to become a Cybersecurity expert or cut your internet connection.
Hahaha suddenly one day you do wake up and find yourself working in Cybersecurity when all you wanted to do originally was block some annoying ads.
I’m currently making my bachelor in Cybersecurity. Can confirm.
Great field, you’ll love it. Except on vacations!
I already love it. It’s a passion.
??? Both options are the same thing tho?
Disable targeted advertising on each account that allows you to do so.
for friends and family, use separate emails/sim cards. sim cards must be the prepaid variety. pay in cash. don’t use these for anything outside of scope
for the shopping one, don’t buy anything online. don’t link your bank or a credit card. you’ll have to go to the store in person and pay in cash. wear a mask.
