TrackMeNot

TrackMeNot is an extension for the leading web browsers that allow the users to protect the web searchers from data profiling and surveillance by search engines.

We can apply obfuscation in our own lives by using practices and technologies that make use of it, including: The secure browser Tor, which (among other anti-surveillance technologies) muddles our Internet activity with that of other Tor users, concealing our trail in that of many others. The browser plugins TrackMeNot and AdNauseam, which explore obfuscation techniques by issuing many fake search requests and loading and clicking every ad, respectively. The browser extension Go Rando, which randomly chooses your emotional “reactions” on Facebook, interfering with their emotional profiling and analysis. Playful experiments like Adam Harvey’s “HyperFace” project, finding patterns on textiles that fool facial recognition systems not by hiding your face, but by creating the illusion of many faces.
