Sharing for a Cause: Let's Raise Awareness!

A screenshot of a Tumblr thread where users discuss intentionally corrupting data to evade state surveillance. The top post by 'void-slvt' argues that making data patterns messy is a tactic to make authorities suspicious of everyone, not just the target. A post by '37womenwieldingknives', a postgrad statistics researcher, agrees, explaining that state data analysis is often incompetent and that the real problem is collecting bad data. Other users suggest apps like Ad Nauseum and TrackMeNot that generate junk data to protect privacy. The thread ends with a comment from 'mayflower-gal' saying it would be a shame if this advice were spread widely.
