I've made astoundingly little technical progress, not much to talk about. Mostly just observations and experiments, but then you look like a malicious user and I definitely ate a platform ban over it once and stopped that. My posting and submission favorites history probably indicate a bit where my interests lie. My most recent work is leveraging data broker removal services (and some letter writing sometimes) to get my address to disappear off the google front page on the barest search of my real name (which is very unique, and without asking google directly) - this is something I want to try to sell and is the most success I've had, but it's a total blackbox, doesn't even approach the scope of the real problem, and as a sibling comment gets at, the tech you are fighting is simply far too powerful and ubiquitous. You're better off at just looking "uninteresting" online, is what I'm slowly concluding, but what is uninteresting today can become extremely interesting to governments of tomorrow.
