Giving out bad info is all fun n' games until your car's extended warranty expires and they can't contact you about it.
or you lost your new girl friend on the way to the milk / beer store .. where are you my love? .. wrong phone number .. wrong address.. :D
Extended warranty? Sounds like the exact reason to give incorrect info.
I agree Chris. I have followed Rob Braxman for years now and he always leaves me thinking, okay, I think I will sell my computer and smartphone and just have a landline phone, but that is as far from modern life as you can come. I guess that's why some call him "the privacy evangelist guy". Happy Hollidays and go be with your family.
Happy Holidays to you as well!
That's not what you should conclude from Braxman's videos: he himself owns a smartphone and use a computer, so it wouldn't make a lot of sense for him to make videos about why you should not use such technologies.
Rather, what he's doing is that he presents the issue and then, always shows a way to deal with it, whether it's using a degoogled phone for his video on smartphones, using a private and actually owned by the user OS like Linux when he talked about what Apple or Microsoft can do with your data when you use their OS, or use extensions like uBlock and other tracker blockers, including browsers with integrated trackers and fingerprinting blockers.
And it's not hard to do it, it's just that it won't do it by itself, you have to know about those privacy issues and choose the good alternatives because unfortunately, they're not preinstalled on most devices by default (most of the time).
@@rigierish3807 I know, but I am often left with the feeling that no matter what I do or what i buy ...... I feel a little tired and paranoid on the internet at times. You can't take that away from me.
That old man even claims that "2FA is a scam" LMAO
@@Thiccum069 Yes, where he's entirely true, even after 2 years.
Did you even see his video? What he's saying in it?
The First Rule of Security: Assume you're already compromised. And in the data-hungry US business market, all public data and some private data have already compromised you. I was never here, and you never read this comment.
i dont even know how to read!!
The best way to do this is unused accounts, phone numbers, and even secondary addresses. Then you can have real data. It simply doesn't reach you on your main accounts, phones and addresses because those are always private.
Changing frequently also helps, but it's not a good solution for most people.
How to be private on the internet. Dont use the internet.
How to leave Apple closed environment, simple don't use a computer.
How to use metric units instead of imperial, simple don't use units at all.
How to pay less taxes? No problem, don't pay any taxes.
I'm sure other viewers have more good ideas to share!
in a world of cameras, microphones, people around you stream... it's not even 100% in your control to avoid the internet
use all the privacy tools and then login with google. I have 10 google emails but they all know who you are once you login to youtube. Privacy is a myth when the internet was designed to be a tracker and that tracking tech is better than ever.
It's possible to consume RUclips without Google, and Google search is near obsolete now, thanks to AI chat. There is not much need to use Google at all anymore.
@@trappedcat3615 Which AI chat?
@@apo.7898 If you want privacy, Brave has Llama 13B built in. Microsoft Edge provides access to GPT-4 via Bing Chat without an MS account. There are dozens of other options.
@@apo.7898 TBH, I can't stand Leo and GPT-4 on sensitive topics. Google Bard is almost the better option.
@@trappedcat3615 if you rely on AI to search and obtain info - you're already misinformed in a huge way. Traditional searching is far from "obsolete", believe me.
I used to do this way more often as a young child. Would get the internet names having mail but it was a start. I need to get bad dataing again.
Most websites don't ask for your personal info they want your eyeballs and habits and clicks. And they want to follow you around and say.."I see you just bought some underwear let me just tell everyone I know."
First time hearing someone mention this. Great clip
Ahh the simplicity, somehow reminds me of Inspector Clouseau and his brilliance.
So you give the wrong phone number and they text you the access code, how does it work?
Pure obfuscation puts you into a subset group
Pure hiding puts you into a group
Being uninteresting gives you a future futile status
Moderation is key, extremity is key
Obfuscation is the way.
Bad data in = bad data out
It's all pointless unless you actually use those accounts. It's getting easier to detect bot accounts and fake accounts nowadays.
Yep, good advice, been following it for a long time! :)
If you have to ask How - then chances are you can't. That doesn't mean, that you can't have a bit more privacy, at least from the corporations, ads , etc with the right tools.
Don't they have a lot of ways to identify people, so even if you give the wrong name and so on, they will know who the user is anyways?
I think is possible to be private on the internet but you would have to dedicate your life for learn how to do it. So, I believe your approach and just follow the basics privacy tips are better for most people.
I always give a bogus number. Unless I want them to call. Especially gov't such as BMV.
Giving out a fake phone number can be problematic when the service needs to send you a code via text message, though. Sure, it'd be better if an authenticator app was used, but not everything uses that.
But generally, I agree.
You could get a backup phone with the cheapest barebones cell plan you can find, make sure you don't log in with your usual apple/google credentials, and then use that as your mobile authenticator
I've registered in too many places long ago, before such widespread privacy talks were even a thing, with my primary phone number and email... and it was also mandatory in some cases... it's too late for me.
@@AquaFyrre Yeah but they're only temporary. No good if you need to receive a code at a number you no longer have
lol if a site needs my phone number then i just refuse to use that site.
@@calvinsFuntimeBounceHouse Understandable until it's something you need for work or whatever other reason.
what?! your provider got your real address...
What search engine do you use too search thy internet
I don't use a smartphone.
i know its idot, but i wish an entire video step to step how to do with bad data. you need be clear for dumb people like me
use pseudonyms, give wrong info, fake some things and so on
@@memesfromtheforsakenworlwi9218 Would you do this for social media as well? I feel like there should be an AI that can do this for you. 24/7 obfusciating your online id.
@@memesfromtheforsakenworlwi9218Does Titus have stuff like xbox, microsoft store and cortana deleted/disabled?
How would one not be caught when doing internet piracy? Asking for a friend
without watchin the vid, ever since the internet was invented i have filled it with fake info. never once did i put my real name or any actual personal information. i even had my 3rd ex before we dated she tried to google me and nothing came up, not even a lil speck of hint of anything.. lmao.
I love your wallpaper; where did you find it?
there is an old saying. If you do not want it on the internet then do not put it there. Live a private life and limit your interaction with the world and you will be private. There is one person that knows everything about you. His name is Lord Jesus.
Yeah, that's not really how it works, unless you live like an Amish. 99.999% of people wouldn't want to do what it takes to be totally private, and I doubt you do either.
@@greggmacdonald9644 I am actually private. I do not have much online. even my social media accounts are minimal. I try to keep things minimal.
Lord Jesus...and Bill Gates.
@@AngelicRequiemX if bill knew everything then windows would not be the crap it is. LOL!!!
@@nomadhgnis9425 Bill doesn't care about whether Windows is "crap" or not because he knows majority of the normies is going to use it anyway. He just wants Windows to know everything about YOU, hence all the spyware and bloat that makes Windows crappy.
Bro you're the malicious approach Imagine giving hope and then taking it away from him at the last minute 😢 😂😂😂
Yup give bad data like the info i gave for this account is all fake, not too worried about privacy being stuck at home with a major disability
Yup, absolutely Chris (Is that even your real name? LOL!)
I too have a few different addresses, phone numbers, birth dates, emails, as well as bogus social media accounts and personas. Striped down my cell phone too. Some folks might think this is a bit much, but it works rather well. Can I still be found online? Yes, but not as easily. I just applied the lessons learned from an occupation to firewall my life as I saw fit.
