How much do others already know about you:

"Few consumers have ever heard of Acxiom. But analysts say it has amassed the world’s largest commercial database on consumers — and that it wants to know much, much more. Its servers process more than 50 trillion data “transactions” a year. Company executives have said its database contains information about 500 million active consumers worldwide, with about 1,500 data points per person. That includes a majority of adults in the United States."
 
Not only that. While it's illegal for the gov to collect most all this data on you themselves (w/o a specific warrant), our great patriot act authorizes them to buy it from places like that, the ratings agencies and so on...and they do. Those agencies, as well as google, facebook, twitter get major income that way.

We could make a sport of messing up their data. Freely fill out all the information they want, just completely wrong! :rotflmbo:

Why yes, I am a 93 year Asian lady born in the Congo who is unemployed, yet drives a Bently. I am a Jewish Hindu and my favorite food is a bacon cheese burger. :shrug:
 
Believe it or not, in our fucked up IP world, Apple was just awarded a patent on data-tracking-poisoning. Like last week.

Unless your 93 year old Asian has a SS number and credit cards in her name, good luck with that - and it's a separate crime if she does.

This game is like thermodynamics, about which Feynman said:

1. You can't win.
2. You can't cheat.
3. You can't quit.

Going silent raises more flags yet. If you start hiding, there are reasonable questions as to why you did that.
