A 16-year-old boy in Turkey has been jailed for drawing a Nazi mustache on a picture of Erdogan during an election season. If I share my nazi mustachioed Erdogan here, can you give my personal information if the Turkish government wants to?

    Are you posting identifying information about yourself? Are you connecting through a VPN? Both important questions if you’re worried about retaliation to your expression of free speech

      I have a vpn but sometimes I forget to turn it on. I don’t share personal information, but I used an email when I signed up for sever.

        If you use an account with the intent of staying anonymous, at no point you may ever connect it to a traceable IP. There is a chance the access history gets IP logged and authorities will trace through all of them.

          Yes, this. No point in using a VPN/Tor if you disconnect even just for 1 second. That’s all they need.
