Venezuela.
The problem is that webpage is under siege by our repressive and authoritarian government and it is common some writters receive threats and stuff like that.
Any ideas to participate there without fear for retaliations?
The best idea to stay anonymous online is to use a VPN. The government won't be able to track you if you have a good VPN. On top of that I would get a new email adress. If the articles are send to you directly via email than you need something that doesn't have your name or any other connection to you. Like that you should not be able to be traced by the government.
Unfortunately, I dont have a good VPN. I usually use Opera when I need it.
- Connect over Tor, a GOOD VPN (or both) and keep connected trough the rest of these steps
- Use a random name generator to generate a random pseudonym... IF you pick a pseudonym yourself, odds are pretty big it might tell the governement something about you... That's why you should use a random generator
- Generate one or more free email addresses with email providers that care about your privacy (for example, protonmail)
- Write your articles, but run them trough an article spinner... Find some synonyms you'd never use for some keywords, make sure you don't give away any identifying information (check twice, or even more... LE can learn a lot from ANY info you give them: don't talk about your kids, don't talk about your job, don't talk about your pets, don't talk about your medical conditions, don't talk about your favorite niche software, don't talk about your village,...), replace your original punctuation and formatting by formatting that's still correct but not "natural" to you
- Post your articles
- Shut up about what you did to EVERYBODY.... Don't tell your friends, don't tell your drinking buddy's, don't talk about on any forum (unless you're connected over Tor/VPN AND using your pseudonym), don't tell your siblings, don't tell your spouse,...
The last step is the hardest... The silkroad admin was caught by failing in this last step... All the other steps are just technical, if you know what you're doing they're not very hard... The last step is the real problem for most people.
Good luck
PS: i'm not a lawyer, and i'm defenately NOT telling you to do something illegal... don't post anything that's against the law in your country... use your due diligence, if you get caught it's not our fault...

I agree. Anonymity has advantages and applications, but it shouldn't be used for illegal activities online. Depending on your local laws, this can have serious consequences.
Nothing illegal at all, I just want to publish opinion articles which may contain things that my government wont like.
I just do nto want to receive e-mail threats, which has already happened to other authors..
