You do know that the government can easily track down who you are, right? Even if you are using 7 proxies.

They'll just ask 4chan or Win or whoever for your IP, and then ask the ISP (or VPN) who that is.

I'm rather skeptical of the VPNs that claim they don't even log anything. It'd be great (and horrifying, because there's some bad stuff as well), but it's not happening.

Gotta do your research about where they operate out of and the laws about legal mandates forcing businesses to log their customers. Remember, companies generally don't want to do more work unless it will make them money or they absolutely have to.

That said, if you want to be as private as possible for a VPN, look into Mullvad. They accept plenty of options for payment, each with their benefits and drawbacks and don't require any information from you besides that. They can only really track you if they know who you actually are. not being able to connect the history to the person is a decent step in stopping that.

And besides, even if it is ultimately not worth it, I'd still do it just to make the job of the officers just a little bit harder. Fuck em, if you're trying to put me in jail for speech I'm more than happy to be petty as fuck over it.

They could log to sell it, which is what many ads I've seen claim American ISPs do.

This certainly beats the alternative, but they do know your IP. So while they may not know who you are, anyone trying to go after you for Wrongthink will.

That's not even petty, it's good strategy. The way to discourage this sort of thing is to make it as hard as possible. Some say they go after 'hate speech' because they are easy prosecutions.,

Only Tor is probably safe - and only assuming the government doesn’t want to burn through zero days to catch you.

almost all VPNs are owned by Israeli companies, they have my implicit trust

There's so many ways authorities can cross-reference, trace, and track down the source. Especially if a person's not using VPN's at all times, disabling most java scripts and cookies, and seriously compartmentalizing what devices they use on what networks.

I'm pretty close to the point to where I give 0 fucks and am almost all for saying whatever the fuck I want, regardless of the possible consequences. Tired of playing these games where the rules are completely rigged to the point of futile stupidity.

Well at least I know why you are so angry all the time.

Might be my perception but uk and aus have some of the trashiest, most entitled and gross slooty sloots in the world. Just absolutely trash humanity.
