1. The solution is to saturate our dossier with BS

Interesting segment. The current system is consumed with tracking our internet viewing habits.

The solution is a program that will run at random in the background visiting and navigating websites, or when we are offline and fill their coffers and our on-line dossier with what would be worthless noise. Saturate them with bull shit information.

2. Yes. I was think the same type of thing.

A programmable browser to constantly browse scripted routines. :thumbsup:

3. It might work politically

Such an application could/would destroy the current internet advertising model and that just might get the attention of advertisers, site owners, ISPs and those who purport to have a need for tracking the habits of users. What advertiser is going to pay for page visits and ads that are clicked through by robotic applications? Such potential outcome might be incentive enough to get legislation passed to eliminate all tracking.
