Let’s say I live in a police state. How can I publish a blog with complete anonymity? If I am found out, there is a high chance of imprisonment or death. What can I do so that the government cannot discover my identity?

I need a blog or website where I can publish articles, with a mailing list feature so I can send those articles out to subscribers.

What tools should I use? What steps should I take to protect myself?

I would greatly appreciate any information or resources that can help me with this.

    The blog part: create an .onion or .i2p site. Or create a site elsewhere but always do any related tasks through Tor at the very least (including account creation and email usage).
    Not so sure about the mailing list part.

    If you have that threat level, I hope you are already protecting yourself against spying on your web searches. With no protections, you could easily become a target by just looking any of these things up.

      I could use TOR, but sadly it is unrealistic to expect everyone else to use TOR so a .onion address won’t work.

    I think you can publish on many ordinary (micro)blogging platforms through Tor, but you’ll need a valid email address.

    So the problem is reduced to: how can you get a valid email address through Tor that is not linked to either a phone number, your real identity, your credit card, or another email address that has any of these pieces of information stored.

    I have never needed to do this, but to my knowledge, there are email providers where that is possible. Another user linked to privacytools.io where I can find this list https://www.privacytools.io/privacy-email - so that may be a place to start.

    I don’t think the tools on privacytools.io fit your requirements (maybe globaleaks) but this site is a good start

    https://www.privacytools.io/blogs https://www.privacytools.io/private-hosting https://www.privacytools.io/secure-whistleblower

    Also some of the privacy messengers here (like Briar) have blogging/forum features similar to Telegram, but you can’t access them via a browser, so you would have to get everyone to install those apps:

    But realistically speaking like the others suggested: Tor, I2P, Zeronet, etc…

      many people incorrectly assume briar aims to provide some sort of anonymity, because it uses tor onion services and is a self-described “secure messenger”. however, that is not the case:

      https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/wikis/FAQ#does-briar-provide-anonymity (answer: no)

      tldr: briar contacts, even when only actually using onions, exchange their bluetoooth MAC addresses and their most recent IPv6 link-local address and last five IPv4 addresses briar has seen bound to their wlan interfaces, just in case you’re ever physically near a contact and want to automatically connect to them locally.
