Abstract
A method of protecting user privacy online includes collecting, via a computer-based user data agent, user data generated by a user on a user device and identifying a first set of traits associated with the user data. The method further includes generating a user profile based on the first set of traits associated with the user data and generating an alternate persona defined by a second set of traits that is different from the first set of traits. The method further includes automatically performing online activities based on the alternate persona to produce artificial user data that obscures real user data.
