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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Look at how Mexican narcobloggers do it. Many of their sites are hosted at places like Blogger. They keep backups of everything they write (those sites let you download site archives from your control panel). They access everything over Tor using TAILS. They delay what they post compared to what happened, to make it more difficult to correlate who was within range of an event (i.e., witnesses) and when they posted it. They don’t post from home but go elsewhere.

    They don’t tell anybody they’re narcobloggers. At all.

    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:

    https://www.privacytools.io/privacy-messaging

    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.
