Data strikes Users install privacy tools or leave platforms so that tech firms such as Google and Facebook are unable to track and store your data. Data poisoning Data poisoning involves manipulating the trained dataset. For example, AdNauseam is a browser extension that clicks on every advertisement that is popped up on your online feed which confuses Google’s ad-targeting algorithms. Conscious data contribution To register your protest against a platform you can start uploading content on its competitor’s platform. For example, instead of uploading your photos on Facebook, you can post them on Tumblr instead. With a collective effort, companies can be forced to change their data collection practices. For example, when WhatsApp announced its new terms of service that would allow Facebook and its subsidiaries to store data, millions of users deleted their accounts and moved to competitors like Signal and Telegram.
