That's when I use the oldest human invention: LYING.

Fake email, fake address, tell them I make more than the highest option they give for the income, make up the entirely unique gender of squorp, etc.

They don't care. They're just turning around and repeating your lies to whatever advertiser is so stupid as to believe their demographic sales pitch.

Hurt them by not using it. That's the biggest number that feeds their machine.

There's something to be said for poisoning the data. Intentionally, and consistently, enter slightly wrong information into every form you can. If it leaks, it all corroborates, but with other wrong information.

It's definitely easier and more reliable to just pass tho.

I think if you lie and use a VPN there might be less data for them to profit from.

I'm pretty sure hitting someone with a rock pre-dates lying. Try that instead next time.
