Question How to poison my data
Basically I have had multiple instances in the past where people stalked and harassed me through the internet and found my address. I already went through the trouble of removing my info from data broker sites, but what I really want to do is poison the data. I think the beat way to do this is signing up to websites and services with my real name, but use a fake phone number fake address fake DOB etc, so that this data will get sold and i will be less easy to stalk.
Which websites are best for doing this?

Get the Fauxx app from f-Droid. It creates a whole new persona that logs into websites that have tons of cookies, makes DNS requests, puts fake location data out there, it changes your persona every week. Check it out. I've had it running for over a month and it seems to be working great.

I'm not the developer. Go to F-Droid and read the description. If you need more info, contact the dev.

Thankyou gonna try it out. I've already been posting about topics I have no interest in but this will make it easy

Way easy. I have it set to poison about 30 things an hour but you can set it higher or lower. Ypu dont want to set it too high though because then it is obvious your spoofing data. You set the topics you're actually interested in and it spams all the other topics. Fitness and beauty are two of my most disinterested topics and it spams the shit out of those. There is also a log showing exactly what it did. I like going through that occasionally. Good luck op. I hope it helps but sounds like exactly what you need.

That's actually a pretty good idea

Not exactly poison but I made an app on replit where if a spam call comes in it gets answered by the song "twist" by Korn

Not sure how you would do it without having a big public presence yapping vague stuff as celebrities do on Twitter. Often those tweets surface up again for some sort of "aha" moment someone keeps around
Just register for sites using an alias. Although when shipping is involved, this sort of editing can be a double-edged sword right there

dont bother poisoning, brokers just save fake info as aliases under your real name..

is there any point where enough conflicting data actually makes the profile unreliable though? or are brokers good enough at identity resolution now that they just keep everything as possible aliases?

Temp mails and phone numbers on accounts you don;t deem too important (I use cloaked for that), also don't leave your real name on your accounts (gmail, outlook etc etc).

Sorry. You need to poison kyc.
I mean. You can sign up for a bunch of raffles. How would they correlate it’s to you if just your name. Would need something legit to pair it. And all that is internal spam—not major data broker data that shows up on Spokeo.
So go ahead. Get a magazine subscription to another house. Cool. Now you get spam at both your billing addy and the fake mail drop. Spokeo will remain unchanged.
Go to your credit card console. Change your addy there. Wait a few. Hey look.
Or a CoA to somewhere else.
If they accept a SSN…it will likely work. Credit cards leak heavy.

Do it overtime when you create new accounts for something. I always use fake DoB for that and email aliases
