Profiling pollution
Derived scrolling
Profiling pollution is an extension that scrolls and likes in your facebook feed randomly. It attempts to confuse facebook profiling algorithms.
While the extension is scrolling, it takes screenshots of articles in each users facebook wall. This page reassembles those screenshots, giving an alternative place to scroll mindlessly, without evil data extraction. Just as algorithms push our dopamine buttons without consent, we could make an attempt at pushing theirs.
Download the extension here:
> Chrome Web Store
or download source files here
At the moment the extension is only working in google chrome browser. I'm working on porting to other browsers. If you would like to help expanding the code see the github page. Something to say? Mail me.
With love, yours truly, Floor Vanden Berghe
