How to 'disappear' from surveillance without breaking any laws: Bitcoin evangelist reveals 15 extreme steps for masking your identity (but it'll cost you $30,000)
In today's all-connected world, it can seem impossible to remain truly anonymous and insulated from being tracked, watched or indexed by the internet or other means.
But Jameson Lopp, CTO at Bitcoin security company Casa, has discovered how to get off the grid.
Lopp devised an exhaustive, albeit extremely complicated, list of 15 steps to 'escape the all-seeing eyes of corporate America and the government,' according to the New York Times.
Among the solutions Lopp recommends are to create an LLC to shield your identity, use cash as much as possible, quit using a smartphone GPS for directions and even move to a new home.
The goal was to completely remove himself from databases that host our personal information and sell it to third parties, the New York Times reported.
His concerns aren't unlike the recent attention that's been given to the shadowy underworld of 'data brokers' and online surveillance systems that profit off the sale of users' data - often without their knowledge or consent.
Many organizations, ranging from telecommunications firms and hotels to the likes of Silicon Valley giants have been criticized for extensively collecting and sharing users' data.
