Initial points to get across

  • It should not be possible to link your identities.
  • You should never show the same things on two different profiles if you don't want them to be linked.
      • Ideally do not show any real world pictures that can be linked to you.
    • Don't say the same things between profiles.
    • Don't talk much about the same interests, or if you do, you should limit yourself to talking about interests that are common.
    • Remember, that even if you are found out, the less information that can be linked between your profiles, the more likely you will be able to deny your relation.
  • Be careful with posting files.
    • Photos, music, videos, PDFs and more can contain EXIF data or similar, this can be used to link to you.
      • In the worst case, photos can contain geolocation data which is usually a highly accurate geographic location of where the photo was taken. Some high end digital cameras also allow you to embed your real name into the photos.
  • Ideally you should not have more than one internet presence.
    • Or if you do, your secondary internet presence should not be linkable to you as a person and should use psuedonames.
  • Do not host sites if you don't know what you are doing.
    • Hosting a MAP site and your personal site using the same server (IP), for example, is a fast track way to being caught.
    • Don't pay for site hosting using tracable methods.

What to do if you are caught

  • Never admit to anything.
  • Over defensiveness and overexplaination is percieved as guilt.
