In the links, I found a guide to disable the AD ID that this tech uses to track you, on Android.

I wonder what would happen if maybe an app or something allowed us to poison their data set. In theory, if my unique ID pinged in my home state and another state in the same hour, the data becomes a lot less useful.

You should totally link that link here!

I'd love to create a chaos-as-a-service for this, $2/mo and we'll throw random legit-looking patterns in different places using your AD ID.

Adv ID + a GPS track to pollute the data sets while you sleep and your phone virtually travels around.
