I wonder if they could tell if someone were to slowly but continuously feed crap data to their "statistics collection" servers. Especially if it were a distributed effort, spread across many machines and ISPs.

Could you just black-hole the collection domains or IPs?

Might work on the server side, might work on the client side if you only use the client via a VPN or on a network you control.

Probably wont work if you use a mobile client on a mobile network without a VPN.

Yeah, but that doesn't hurt the people trying to spy on us.
