Re: How to Disappear Completely from the Internet?
#22Enjoy internet but do not allow any service or platform to connect your activity to your persona. There are methods to do that and it's much easier and more fun that cut off yourself internet. (Google it ... Oops! DuckDuckGo it! :) )
I really hope the term "DuckDuckGo it" or simply just "Duck-it!" catches on!

Ads are not the only way FAANG tracks you. You need to get rid of everything owned by them like your Android phone (yes, the hardware, apart from the brick, is only licensed to you, so still owned by them), Google maps etc. And find alternatives like S60 phones, Openstreetmaps etc.
Yes, that's what I'm talking about. Even tho you delete everything (accounts, data etc.) you are still left with several insidious ways any company can track you. Eg. you can delete anything from your phone and even reinstall the system from groundup but you will still be tracked based on the hardware configuration...
Sure.
Consider buying a cheap feature phone. Keep it turned off as much as possible. Avoid SMS as much as possible. Use other methods for calling. (Perhaps Wire…?)
Aso, consider if all this trouble is really worth it. IMHO, it’s not. YMMV.

#24Lot's of comments on how to act going forward, what I'm curious about is how to retroactively remove previous artifacts? How can you guarantee that all of your online banking, shopping, social media accounts are actually deleted?

I'd rather have them register ddg.* or some other short TLD and be done with this ducking. I can never type it correctly from the second try.

I'm curious, why should one avoid SMS? It's the ultimate tech that's not owned by any single entity.

#27I think it is practically impossible to go off the radar nowadays, there is too much information about you already out there, especially with the big guys.
I think the next best thing to do would be secure whatever you can and not give away anymore. Don't download unnecessary apps, give out information that is not required, and use your 2FA wisely. We end up giving out details these big guys never asked for without realising. Be aware of what you share.

This is the way.
The other way is literary go off the grid and use no electronics.

I think if you have a cabin and own a generator with enough fuel around you should be able to vanish from a lot of eyes. Not the government eyes but most of the private companies won't know where you are if you can get a foreign bank account to receive payment and you only use cash (converted offshore).
But still, I don't know how I can live without Internet. Is there any affordable satelliete Internet service? How about Starlink?
Re: How to Disappear Completely from the Internet?
#30Can you be more specific? What kinda of data? Financial? Shopping info? Personal history? Relationship with others? Online comments? What are your limits and what would you be happy with? What are you willing to give up and what do you need to keep hold of? Then, what have you found so far and how is it not working for you? Are you familiar with EFF.org ?
Well, my primary goal is to get rid off my personal information. It could/should conatin things like comments i made or shopping accounts I created but it's not the primary goal (for this moment). I followed the logic that if I delete my personal data (google records, facebook records, ad records) other data would be affected too since the reference data is lost but I might be wrong with that conclusion. I'm just try…
From what I recall of my trip down the deep paranoia rabbit hole your best bet is to:
A) Only use temporary virtual machines to access the internet.
B) Use Tor the right way, which is very difficult.
C) Use VPNs liberally
D) Pay for everything from one-off accounts like visa gift cards
But that's exhausting and full of friction at every step. Basically pretending that a State interest is after you, like you're a criminal. Best of luck!
IMHO whatever is out there is out there, you have no control of it anymore. And, the internet is forever.
IMHO I'd rather poison my information that delete it. Fill it full of useless cruft and things that aren't actually you. That's easier.
