desnoop

The act of limiting or completely eliminating surveillance on a particular person, either by the folks performing the surveillance, or by someone on behalf of the person under surveillance, or by the person under surveillance himself or herself. Can also refer to the act of installing light-blocking shades in one's home, to prevent nosy neighbors or peeping Tom types from peering into their windows.

I was aware of some overly curious types looking at what I was doing on my laptop, so I desnooped them by working under a wool blanket.
