We Don’t Need a New Twitter
While I realize this does nothing for mobile (RIP third-party clients), Control Panel for Twitter [1] has been nice for me to use as a browserscript. Defaults/hides "For You" and tweaks a bunch of other stuff (hideable trends, etc). [1]: https://github.com/insin/control-panel-for-twitter. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
Is there a app or plugin to block out the "for you" tab?
Idk for mobile, but for desktop - one such example. Source: 11 months ago
Why does my for you tweet page show me tweets that my algorithm knows I don't like?!
Open Twitter from desktop browser only and use an extension to tailor your experience. Source: 11 months ago
I need to take a break from twitter. I've seen too much.
Install the Control Panel extension to banish that shit. No "for you" feed. For the love of God, no trending topics. Read stuff from the people you follow and nowhere else. Source: about 1 year ago
Seriously how do I stop all this rubbish I have no interest in from polluting my twitter feed. like 9 in a row?
On desktop, there are extensions that can help, like Control Panel for Twitter. Source: about 1 year ago

What are your best data poisoning tools?
TrackMeNot: runs as a low-priority background process that periodically issuesrandomized search-queries to popular search engines, e.g., AOL, Yahoo!,Google, and Bing. It hides users' actual search trails in a cloud of 'ghost'queries, significantly increasing the difficulty of aggregating such data intoaccurate or identifying user profiles. Source: over 1 year ago
OSINT Guide, Part 4. Preserving your Own Privacy.
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... Source: over 1 year ago
I feel like this really fits here with the message of how data is constantly captured.
No doubt, and I agree. I used to use trackmenot. Source: over 1 year ago
A website/software which spam your Google searches to confuse the data collections
Https://adnauseam.io/ and http://trackmenot.io/ are two that I have heard of. I think they both work slightly differently tho. Source: over 1 year ago
