Exactly, except I’m on desktop. Didn’t install NoScript on my mobile browser since it’s somewhat of a pain managing NoScript and uBlock side-by-side for everything.
Even if you do pay them anonymously, your IP will be recorded when you access/download from them. Case in point: Mullvad was forced to shut off port-forwarding because of torrent traffic on their network. Mullvad allows you to pay with Monero.
Don’t do it for the privacy, do it because having the server in a different country like the Netherlands makes it easier to pirate. For all they know, you’re just accessing random IPs in the Netherlands and all they see is HTTPS traffic.
They should be using seedboxes to seed, and should be using VPNs in other countries to upload their content. Worst case scenario, torrenting completely moves to i2p, eradicating the problems being faced by these groups today
Thank you, I should have mentioned my threat model and needs more clearly.
I am looking to scan my own posts/comments for stylometry statistics, for the most part, but PII would be nice. I’ll deal with the browser-agent, Cookies, IP etc.
Threat model would likely be to prevent people who might be wanting to link my identity with my online persona. Obviously, the government is excluded since they can just mine the IP from Lemmy mods and get to me. This is someone who is interested in my identity and will use FOSS/some proprietary tools to link my identities
