Is there precedence for this? Are there others that have tried this and have been classified as "noise clients" or are you just surmising ahead of time? You are probably right, but feeding them noise has been on my mind for a long time and I don't see another answer.

What about not using their services, and use a privacy extension to prevent other sites from using these services on your behalf?

Never had FB account. Never will. I saw this on day one. Not using FB is insufficient. Privacy tools are insufficient. Gov't involvement is insufficient. Make them "eat noise." I don't know if it will work, but we're running out of options quickly.

Surmise is a strong word. I will settle with deducing it.
