Let’s say a fellow no longer wants to be tracked around the web but has been for years. The “digital profile” of that person is well know and has been sold countless times.

How would that fellow:

1) Vanish

2) prevent future profiles from being created

What’s the step by step process that a regular person could follow?  

Is such a thing even possible?

Your digital habits would still match, everyone is unique and your digital fingerprint is as unique as someone elses.


Going digitally cold turkey would be required.

How long would one have to cold turkey to reset their patterns.  A year?

Ok. Apologize for being a noob here, but what value is there in proton mail, VPNs, duck duck go, etc. ?

What are people who use these tools trying to accomplish?

What would be the #1 reason we should all be using them but aren’t?

First off, you have to die.  A valid death cert would be a huge help in hiding your existence.  It gets you removed from all kinds of government lists, but you will be voting Democrat in many places.

Then you need a birth certificate for a child under one year old who never had an ssn.

From there it's a piece of cake.

Or you could find someone who just died and step into their life.

There are many published books on getting off the grid.  Don't buy them with a credit card.

Go live in a shack in Montana with no electricity, running water or internet and write incomprehensible conspiracy theories and send out packages twice a year with bombs in them when your mom sends you money for your birthday and Christmas.

Of course the FBI will eventually figure it out. Eventually.

I saw on forensic files where a guy picked up a homeless guy, shot him, then took his SSN and used it to get a new ID printed (with his face), then was able to take his identity.

He had no online presence because he was a druggie/homeless guy.



I do not recommend doing that, he ultimately got caught and zapped in the lightening chair.

Easy:

Log out of everything and never log back in. Cut the cords and don’t renew phone/internet.

Problem solved.

Your welcome.

Just completely change your habits online.
Only buy things you dont like, only go to websites/forums you had nothing to do with in any way, shit post all over with another poersonality, like all kinds of things you know nothing about, etc...
become a new you.

This is what I have done over the past decade, I never liked or owned firearms, I know nothing of any of the things I reference in posts, even the music related threads.. wtf was that stuff? lol ... hell I dont even speak english.

If you put registered democrat in your manifesto the FBI will help hide the facts.

Absolutely!  The first step is to publicly state your intent on a public forum.

I heard that that it really hard to do now.  I know one trick that illegal immigrants do to get a real job. They pay someone for their SSN and ID. They let them use their ID and get all the tax return money from the Illegals job

Engage in a massive disinformation campaign. Start with LinkedIn and change all your work history to be completely false. The web crawlers will pick it up and spread it like gospel. Do the same for Facebook and whatever other platforms you are on.

If you can’t deny the world your data, feed it a load of shit.

After my father died, I found a complete set of ID that he had used this trick for back in the 1970s in his effects. Now when someone dies, the death jurisdiction contacts the birth jurisdiction and they stamp DECEASED on the BCs.

He had a dead baby's birth certificate, then he got a SSN, California driver's license, the whole shebang. Wish I'd kept it to investigate further. We parted on very bad terms, and after he died I burned up most everything associated with him in the fireplace.
