The idea is to fill all these snoopers databases so full of crap data as to make them useless.

Not a *new* idea. Storing spurious data and hiding in plain sight have been a staple of most good security management routines for years. You also do this if you want to defeat traffic analysis - certain in-theatre communication facilities have that built in so you can't easily identify those in charge.
