Look, the regime is watching. Your Amazon cart, your face, your Spotify playlist—it’s all data in the hands of fascists. If you’re out here resisting but still posting selfies at protests or Venmoing “for bail 💸” with your real name, congratulations: you’re handing them the rope.
Here’s how to ghost yourself—while still raising hell.
👻 Step 1: Stop Using Your Real Name, Anywhere
Code names aren’t cute—they’re operational security. Pick one and use it across all organizing work. Bonus points if it sounds like a goth Pokémon.
🧠 Step 2: Separate Your Personas
- One phone/email/account for resistance work.
- One for your “normal” life (if that still exists).
- Never cross the streams.
📲 Step 3: Use Encrypted Tools Only
- Signal for messages.
- ProtonMail for email.
- VPN on all devices, all the time.
- Tor Browser or Brave with DuckDuckGo for research.

📷 Step 4: Ditch Your Face
Don’t post protest selfies. Don’t wear anything identifiable. If you livestream a rally, you might as well fax the DOJ your address.
💳 Step 5: Money Moves Quietly
- Use cash or prepaid debit cards bought with cash.
- Never donate, purchase, or subscribe to resistance efforts using identifiable accounts unless you know the group and trust their data security.
- For crypto: learn it first, don’t just YOLO a Bitcoin wallet.
🎭 Step 6: Assume You’re Being Watched Because you are
- Don’t tag friends in protest photos
- Don’t mention real names or locations in Signal
- Don’t trust any rando who suddenly shows up with a burner and wants to “talk strategy”
🧼 Step 7: Clean Your Digital Footprint Weekly
- Delete old messages
- Clear browser histories
- Log out of everything you’re not using
- Use secure deletion tools for files and images
💡 Final Thought
Anonymity isn’t paranoia. It’s survival. You can’t dismantle a surveillance state if you’re livestreaming your every move with GPS on. Be invisible. Be untraceable. Be everywhere.

How to stop hackers from reading your private messages: Encrypt them with MakeItPrivate.org
https://thedemlabs.org/2025/05/16/how-to-stop-hackers-from-reading-your-private-messages-encrypt-them-with-makeitprivate-org/
Can you really trust billionaire owned platforms like Facebook, WhatsApp or Gmail with your private messages?
Make sure hackers can’t read your private message across different platforms by encrypting them with your own password first.
Scramble your message with a keyword that you pick with MakeItPrivate which is a free web-based service from Democracy Labs. You don’t have to install any software or register. Share your keyword separately with people you want. Use different keyword for different messages and different people.
Send the encrypted message over any channel you like – Facebook, WhatsApp, Gmail or Starlink. It’s much harder for a hacker eavesdropping on your online conversations from reading those messages since they do not have the keyword that you used to encrypt the message.
Your intended recipients take your scrambled message and go to MakeItPrivate. They enter in the keyword that you told them about separately and can read the message. That’s it! It’s simple, free and fast. You can even use MakeItPrivate while you are offline to encrypt and decrypt messages.
