A charity I’m volunteering for and a contractor I know insist I have a facebook account for contact reasons. Naturally I bought a separate device to use for that, but I was wondering if there were ways to make my data undesirable to potential buyers. So far I got the obvious tiennamen square posting and that gay putin pic, but I was wondering what else I could do
If you deactivate your Facebook account (not delete) you can make it where you can only access Facebook Messenger, but you don’t have a public facing Facebook account. That way you only get the messaging side of it, minimizing the data they can collect on you. The account still exists but you give them less data. Giving bogus data doesn’t help as much as not giving it at all, being as generic as possible, since buyers pay more for targeted data regardless of the content.
I wouldn’t leave those posts up if you’re volunteering for a charity regardless.
