can we poison this data?
Defo gonna try lol
Please keep me updated lol
I tried but they want you to give them your home address and I didn’t feel like doxing myself. I’m going to have to come up with a different home address that’s valid in their system. At the same time I don’t want to cause grief for the person whose address I use. Maybe I can use a church address.
Use the churche of Scientologys address
Yeah I’m wondering what happens if we download it and start giving it bad data. Just say everyone is Christian, or that you’ve met with everyone in your town every day.
Just giving it random data should be good enough. If the users can’t trust the validity of the data, they might stop using the app.
Why would you say everyone's a Christian? Might as well have some fun. Change all the ones marking themselves as Christians to say that they're gay liberal polygamists or something.
I figured obviously incorrect data on potential users of the app would be sussed out rather quickly, but posing as a devout bigot who has been converting everyone in town would be more “believable.”
Betcha their tracking the shout out of their users.
But you could spoof that with a simulator.
