Which is why you buy it, and when not at home, play really loud, awkward and uncomfortable recordings of someone having bad, sweaty, cringe-inducing sex. For hours on end.

If you're into software, you could make it exciting. Perhaps write a scraper to strip the audio off porn clips, mix it up with old Khruschev speeches?

Could be a tactic to fight systems like these - overwhelm them with garbage data.




Overwhelming with garbage data is definitely something you can do with social network trackers, it's definitely something I engaged in when I was most active on Facebook. That said it seems to me the far better solution, if you actually value your privacy, is to give up the convenience it would offer and simply not let systems like this into your house.

In a fight to protect your privacy, the only way to win is to not willingly give up your data, even if that means not making use of new systems or taking active countermeasures against tracking systems.


Overwhelming with garbage data is definitely a good tactice to pollute the nice data they collect. See https://adnauseam.io/
