The article addresses this. Data must be fresh to be valuable. Yes old data can be useful, but can it be sold? That’s the main vulnerability to surveillance capitalism that hiding exploits.

That is an entirely valid point - and exactly why I wrote that blog post. To help people to explain to those around them that they also need to do something about their privacy. Otherwise they're giving you away by association.

Come to think of it, I probably should have mentioned that in the post 🤦🏼‍♂️

The point is that by fighting back they cannot get any more accurate than that, which helps, even if it's incomplete and imperfect.

There's also the spite angle, because fuck them, i am not gonna give them shit if i can help it!
