1) physical location It depends a lot on how intense you expect the investigation to be. Strong protection comes from using a network connection that is not linked to you, in addition to using technology that masks your IP address. If there are CCTV, then that increases the risk exposure, as does bringing a mobile phone with you. It is a lot of trade offs based on the threat model. In the case of a resistance twitter account, I suspect that simply using Tor Browser Bundle will be sufficient, but it is hard to make a blanket statement. 2) anonymous I'm not anonymous, I'm pseudonymous. There are hundreds, or thousands, of people that know my "real" name. It isn't important, I don't use it for anything. The only people who do use it are my mother and my bank. I've been using the same handle "grugq" for over two decades. Everything I have done is under my handle. I don't maintain two identities, I have only one -- the grugq. You can't link my handle with another identity because there isn't one. Over a decade ago I was at a small art college where +Fravia was giving a talk. After his speech, we went for a walk and a chat. He lamented that all the hackers were dropping their handles and going by their real names for commercial reasons (so they could get jobs, basically.) He said to me, "you and I are the only ones left still using our handles." A few years later he died of cancer. So, now I am the only one left. People who know my name, know where I live and know that it would increase my risk profile to expose me. They respect my wishes to use my handle, and they respect my privacy. It is no great secret, it is simply the choice I have made, an obligation to an old dead friend, and also one that could have very real security implications. It always puzzles me why people care so much. A name is a name. (also, you have no idea what I do for a living. lol)
