Flood the Zone: Obfuscation as Privacy Strategy
from My Weird Prompts
What if the best way to protect your real address isn't locking it down — but publishing a fake one, loudly and convincingly? This episode explores obfuscation as a privacy strategy: seeding false information into the digital ecosystem so anyone trying to trace you hits a wall of plausible decoys. We break down how to build fake nonprofit websites, phantom addresses, and decoy personas that survive scrutiny from data brokers and casual investigators. From domain registration to SEO to data broker deduplication algorithms, this is the next logical step beyond passive privacy defense.
