Hypothetical scenario:
Someone starts an anonymous website that states it’s aim (in the future) is to make information available that governments and companies may dislike. Clearly being anonymous would be a key part of their strategy to avoid trouble.
Hypothetically, one decides to see what publicly available information one can find about who’s running the anonymous website, using queries and searches of publicly accessible information. Assume one finds a trail that gives enough of a rough idea of the main person’s name, contact details and physical location.
At this point, what should would you do?
- nothing
- tell the person their anonymity is exceptionally poor
- post the suspected information on the internet for critique
- inform the authorities (though one has no reason to assume any law has been broken)
