"Friends don’t let friends get spied on.' – Richard Stallman, President of the Free Software Foundation and longtime advocate of privacy in technology.

Keep Your Identity Secret with a Fake Identity for Online Accounts

There is no law that says you have to use our real name online. For most web browsing, you can use a fake name, address, or phone number. This can be an effective method of blocking “tracking” and other methods of corporate spying that is designed to steal your personal information.

NOTE: don’t give fake details for legally-binding accounts, which could constitute fraud!

To create a new persona that won’t giving away your personal details, use the Fake Name Generator at http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/ to create a false name, address, phone number, birthday, financial details, and more.
