This guide does not aim to help malicious actors perform unethical, criminal, or illicit activities. It is written with the sole purpose to inform good-intended individuals, especially human rights activists, about often overlooked considerations and risks in online activities. Therefore, it provides insights and actionable steps someone can take to sanitize their online environment and habits, as well as tips on creating and operating a pseudonymous identity separate from their real world identity.
