If you're not using https, not at all.

If you are, it might be.

Information about individual posters is not shared with other posters.

Sup Forums does full auditing of connections and posts per IP and images uploaded per IP. Sup Forums also fully complies with law enforcement requests when served a valid warrant.

See pic related.

Not really. Hiroshima could give the FBI someone posting child porn, for instance, their ip address and they would eventually track you down through your ISP. If you're using TOR, that would make it a bit more difficult.

Sup Forums is a mainstream website

how do I work around the google reCaptcha system without buying a Sup Forums pass. If I can't then what's the best captcha system to use if I'm concerned with this sort of stuff.

its about as anonymous as the chances of me finishing on milanas breasts are.

A better question would be how well are you hiding your own IP?
If you aren't using a VPN / VPS (a paid one) based in another country (one which does not have a mandatory data retention policy) which does not keep all connection laws (or disposes of them very regularly), then you aren't even concealing your identity with the bare minimum required to consider your internet activity "anonymous"

>which does not keep all connection laws
Whups. I meant connection logs.

hard to find a not blocked vpn
would need a jew pass or someshit on top of the paid vpn

>when served a valid warrant
what evidence do you have that this requirement is true?

there's no evidence that Sup Forums doesn't fully cooperate with any law enforcement that proves they're law enforcement and not some impersonator with absolutely no warrant needed. it's their data; if a cop asks for it and Sup Forums wants to not deal with lawyers at all, they could just cooperate right away.

cooperating with law enforcement agencies in a conservative fashion (that is, only giving them what you're legally required to and no more) is principled, but costly. and treating agencies adversarially would just make running Sup Forums that much harder. cooperating is the cheaper, easier road, even if it means throwing users under the bus.

but Sup Forums didn't start about sharing controversial ideas under the safety of anonymity. chris just didn't want to force people to register usernames for the site when they posted images.

I didn't word that as a restriction. No need to get all huffy

*Sup Forums Gold Membership necessary to view this post*

as anonymous as you make it
tripfagging? nope
using http? nope
using a Sup Forums pass? nope (which you need to VPN post unless your server range isn't blocked or tor post)
anything using an internet connection, especially without tor or a vpn (which you can't do without a Sup Forums pass, which identifies the purchaser instantly) can be anonymous to the front-end, but the back end would know at minimum your connecting IP address, also which isn't something developers can just bypass, you have to know a client's IP to open a socket connection

I thought all the smart people on Sup Forums left

>2016
>thinking anything is anonymous


I'm talking about you Mike

shit

Don't you mean Hugh?

but my name is Sandra

Don't believe Jacob's lies.

i think you're reading something that isn't there. i'm just giving a reality check to people who think that Sup Forums is some bastion of anonymity, like a haven for "Anonymous", when in reality this site only obscures you from other users, and only optionally.

heeey r u a girl? its so awesome to seee a girl on a technology forum! such an awesome thing to see! haha dont worry im not a stereotypical guy or anything if anything i'd be the one in the kitchen

Not very anonymous. For instance I know all your details through a simple IP Backtrace Keydoor Facility:

You forgot sexual orientation

lel

didn't think I'd have to clarify the sexual orientation of OP

its not at all

>5'7
>184lbs
Wider than tall?

DELETE THIS DUDE

I have a slight feeling that this dude used a fake info generator. it may just be me though.

Underrated post.

Naw dude just bulkin

If you aren't bypassing captcha, no.

how do we bypass Google Captcha

How is it related?

noscript greasemonkey and tampermonkey plus a secret hosts file that i wont be sharing with you because you are an incompetent fuckwit who cannot bypass a simple captcha. people like you shouldn't be allowed computers.

It's anonymous where it matters

Our writings are judged based on their merit and not based on our online name, our karma or our social circle

>where it matters
hahahahah holy shit are you real?

you can't use it through tor, and it's difficult to comment without JS, which also helps de-anonymize you.

V&

Dont expect privacy from a company.

Wouldn't most of these countries be compromised already though? European countries were basically piggy backing off whatever the USA was doing meaning they likely have tentacles into plenty outside of the country itself. I'd also consider the fact how complacent New Zealand was with the whole Mega Upload issue. USA was basically allowed to send in it's own people along with guns to kidnap in other nations.

...

Does Hiro have my personal info?

How can Hiroshima can snitch on someone for Certain Pictures when he's related to one of the biggest names in the lolicon community?

How did you know my name?

great taste in girls

>Autism at its maximum.
People like you shouldn't be allowed into society.

Honest question.

What stops Sup Forums from just not logging ip addresses? You can't subpoena what doesn't exist.

You could still enforce bans and whatnot with hashes.

Because he doesn't care. Your troubles aren't his problems.

Why you need greasemonkey AND tampermonkey?

HUGH WHAT?

Not very.

>https
This only encrypts the traffic to the server and won't protect against ip logs.


The only true way to post anonymously is to use TOR connected to a VPN service. This way if the VPN keeps logs then all they see is a TOR exit node.

If you use this method on a public network with no cameras, Don't have your phone powered and use a second hand laptop its basically impossible or your identity to be found.

WHO AM I?

Mr Davidson pls.

Very, no one knows who you are here. Now post that extra cheesy pizza collection.

>which also helps de-anonymize you.
only if you are accessing Sup Forums with a internet connection thats linked to your name

Moot

AHAHAHAHA

What about Switzerland?

But Pajeet told I'm pretty anonymous in here....???

Their gay

But with tasty cheese.

I have a feeling that Sup Forums keeps tabs on us.

They have entries for each of us based on our IP address. They have logs of every post you've ever made and if the government wanted those logs then Hiro-san would hand them over.

I think that is as far as it goes though. They're no way that Sup Forums has the capabilities to, say, keep track of every thread that you've lurked.

We're only anonymous to each other. Goot data mines us and Google manages our messages.

smartest guy here

Everyone, you're all fucking retards. Consider all the whack jobs that posted on Sup Forums before committing some sort of crime. Do you really not think that moot didn't have some setup by at least 2013 or so, where he would log all posts by specific IPs, likely stored in text only so as to save space.

Sup Forums will have some logging being done. We don't know what level, but if you have a static IP then you have something tying you to this place.
Sup Forums knows you come here.
Your ISP knows you come here - fucking duh.
Google knows you come here, I have no doubt of that at all. I just don't know how deep this security compromise runs on google's part does though.

See, if you're not a fucking retard, you'll use a browser profile for real activity (email, bank, commerce), and a profile heavily locked down for browsing and shitposting.

I don't know if google makes the tie between the Sup Forums posting and the email being logged in from the same IP address, but always assume the worst.
So yes, i would say google is in on this as well.

At the very least, you should all also assume being here puts us on some sort of list. No, we aren't "hardcore badasses", but typically its more competent people that would come here, even more so Sup Forums. I don't know if the same still rings true because ever since 2013, Sup Forums took a really serious decline in the quality of posts, and I can tell I'm interacting with some true fuckwits. It is okay to not know everything, but I'm sick of these actual morons coming and asking how to tie their shoes.

depends on who is asking. It is quite anonymous when the people who do their snooping are plebs, but not anonymous at all for the people who have access to the server logs.

Now, in this day and age, if you truly wanted to stay anonymous, here is what you would do

Use only laptops, full disk encryption, any external usb storage or hdds have encrypted, only public wifi, log in from different positions and times.

If you have a contract cell phone, keep it in a faraday cage (lead box, something that blocks signal) when not in use. I would not recommend that though, as the signal frequently going in and out is also likely to attract attention in of itself, as that is unusual behavior.
Better to go with a burner phone, or not having one at all and using secure messaging on the PC from public wifis.

Dress casually, not like a hobo, not like a faggot who sticks out.
Guess you could live out of a van as well, there are communities dedicated to that.

How to get cash? Who fucking knows. I guess you would have to do under the table work, but who knows where to find that? being truly 100% anonymous is likely impossible in this day and age.

I have no fucking idea who you are so I guess you're anonymous

Sup Forums is casually anonymous at best, as in, there no IRL name visibly attached social media style. However it's not anonymous from technical perspective.

Sup Forums admins have your IP. They may be autistic enough to do something with it if you anger them a lot.
It requires Google captcha which makes it easy for google to deanonymize you at very least using timing attacks.
Only way around this is shekeling up bitcoins which is not anonymous.
Sup Forums blocks Tor.

HUGH MUNGUS

gookmoot sells out to whoever is interested most likely. It's still leagues better than any site with usernames for obvious reasons

>If you're using TOR
All the exit nodes are banned, presumably because people kept using them to post child porn.

it's not. Anonimity on the "standard" internet is ded

Sup Forums is not an anonymous site. You are only anonymous to other users visiting this site. Even with a half brain you can imagine mods and other privileged users can sort through users and view their browsing history. Simplified : everyone has a second permanent board wide "tripcode", you just cant see it.

So pretty much depends on your determination

This is what I've imagined. I figured even on boards like Sup Forums and /lit/ where there are no id codes they must still be able to see who is double posting and what not. It can always be inferred because any user can see how many posters are in this thread, and compare that to post count

This is how anonymous it is:
youtu.be/6KFz9WRRNpk

You guys realize OP is a homosexual degenerate right (ie iPhone user)?

>And only optionally
What? You can only give up your anonymity through tripcode from other users.

It's not. You have to pay to use a VPN if you don't want to be snooped.

Who am I, Sup Forums?

You can get around IP range bans on VPNs with a pass but imo we shouldn't be rewarding that kind of privacy harming behavior by paying them.

They block tor and a ton of VPNs. Sup Forums more or less actively works to de-anonymize you.

>second hand laptop
i guess you're hinting about mac address and surfing fingerpringing

>based in another country
prefferebly not the us or the five eyes

f

>Using standard HTTP
ishygddt
>Using HTTPS
Sup Forums still has your IP address. To other users you might as well be anonymous, but if you post anything illegal expect to be v&.

You have to realize that Sup Forums is just an imageboard that doesn't require accounts to make posts. It still logs your IP address like every other website.

>tfw you won't share your wisdom on those tities

>illegal
according to US law

which in today's day and age can be supporting a man&woman relationship

>implying google doesn't know who you are, no matter what you do

What is to stop Sup Forums from filtering posts through algorithms? What would happen if they decided to associate your writing style, your choice of pics, your choice of threads, with your ip. Or they wouldn't even have to. They could just filter us based on how much we fit certain criteria.

My original question was meant to be, how anonymous are our thoughts? It seems fairly easy based on what we post to recognize people off of writing style, themes they use, etc.

Don't you think unfiltered thought from a fairly large pool would be a great catch for any company researching ai?

I guess it boils down to this question at the end of the day,

What is to stop them from labeling us and using our posts in research? Chans are not a secret and people recognize that the chans are a breeding ground for those with social issues. Why wouldn't they want to get an unfiltered representation of what ends up being the most dangerous group in society?

TITS OR GTFO

I'm only anonymous to the majority of other posters here.

Still, there aren't many other sites that actively work to de-anonymize you while convincing tards who don't know better that they're anonymous.

who is this cum plum?
