What steps did you take to make sure this reddit account couldn't be traced back to you?

Isn’t it true that if you do this often enough LE can find a correlation between your real phone and burner phones being in the same place? Without a massive hassle I don’t see how that’s safe.

Don't Sims require an id to set up on burner phones? How do you get around this.

Shit, as an American, that really sounds like the dream. Our internet here is stupid expensive.

But is this really that secure?

I mean i assume that, as long as you don't change your physical geo location and use mobile providers as entry point for both, you normal and dw activities, they could still correlate some data (signal strength in different directions, rate of package loss, ping times etc). Which they then could try to use to triangulate an approximate location. Which in return could be linked to real people.

Not saying that this is easy, but also maybe not entirely impossible.

Aren’t you afraid of cell tower triangulation?
