Fauxx: Data poisoning for your everyday tracking

Fauxx is an open-source Android (@fdroidorg) privacy tool that poisons data broker and ad-tech profiles by generating continuous, plausible, off-demographic synthetic activity from your device. The goal is simple: make your real behavioral signal statistically indistinguishable from noise.

@lpryszcz I recently came across #fauxx an android application that poisons this sort of data collection with random noise

Available on F-Droid

Any experiences with #Fauxx ?

It is a very well designed #Android application that works continuously in the background generating 'plausible, off-demographic synthetic activity' to bury your actual digital footprint and thus contribute to your #privacy against the #surveillance industry.

I find the concept very interesting and plausible. However, it is difficult to know whether it will achieve its goal.

@Tolong4u Ich glaube, ich hab einfach in Ruhe den "Erster-Start-Assistenten" durchgeklickt.

Vielleicht fehlt die Berechtigung für den Betrieb im Hintergrund oder dieses Akkuoptimierungsdings?

Es gibt Schalter, damit es bei geringem Akkustand, mobilen Daten oder zu bestimmten Zeiten pausiert, aber sonst fällt mir auch nichts ein #fauxx

@Tolong4u Ich habe auch GrapheneOS, ich schau mal...

Hier sieht es so aus. Ich bin gerade eine Frau zwischen 30 und 40 😉 #fauxx
