I disagree. Text analysis only really works when someone attempting to publish anonymously is unaware that someone will do that analysis.
At the point where there are simple tools, you can use them to put together a report on what is most identifying, and then fix it, before publication.
Or one can even publish false flags. If anyone remembers the "lodestar" speculation from earlier this year, that's a single word that someone could have put in to get the writing completely misattributed in the public sphere.

- Eridrus 8y agoThe more "sophisticated" a textual analysis tool is, the less interpretable it is, and the more difficult it will be to get people to believe the output. And yes, I think the people involved in this will take that risk.
