How easy is it to be a Anonymous Troll?

  I've been asked before by some of my fellow peers that, are not tech-savvy how easy it is to be anonymous online. The sad answer is VERY EASY! This strikes a lot of people being very shocked or appalled. Although this is a sad conclusion because, although sites may require some sort of information to have an account or membership somewhere, most of that info is fake. Here I'll explain how easy it is to be a troll online and be anonymous or being anonymous in general. Some of these basic steps is creating a dump email account, acquiring an identity, and most importantly being disclosed online.  

  Acquiring a dump email account is the first step to being anonymous. A dump email account is basically a fake inbox where you can have your fake accounts linked to this email. It is because, most online sites require you to have an email to inquire more information about you or to send you promotions etc. etc. . Some of these online sites are little moles that act as beacons (i.e Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Blogs, and even shopping websites) they collect your info to sell to third parties or even to the government to keep their site alive and to make money of course. With your dump email account this prevents that, and allows you to create a fake identity for yourself so that you can keep yourself somewhat anonymous and your real identity to yourself. To create a dump email account its best you don't use any popular email sites ex. Google, Yahoo, Microsoft Outlook, MSN, iCloud, or even Aol.com! They all trade info with the government and third parties so it's best to stay clear of these sites. So instead use email domains like LinuxMail.org, Husmail.com, or Canada.com. Your probably wondering why Canada.com...well its because, the canadian gov. doesn't really monitor their citizens online as much as the U.S gov does so it's a safe haven for some hackers. Once that's done you can now feel free to set-up as many accounts as you want on your dump email account.

  The next step on your quest to be an anonymous troll online is to acquire a fake identity. For some this may be kinda hard because, some trolls like to link their account to a fictional character or a person in history to be clever (To those who make a historical figure linked to their internet pathetic games making that person a abomination. F*** You). For others they may just make a random name. After acquiring that name you must assert that name as that person and create a profile around you by pulling pictures off the internet that you want to use for your accounts that you set-up within that dump email. This quite frankly is the easy step in your identity creation because, there are sooooo manyyyyyyyy faces to choose from! You can use a celebrity's face, that Ex that did you wrong in college, that boss you really hate working for, a fictional character, a non fiction character, THE SKY'S THE LIMIT! Don't think though you are limited to that one face though, you can use all the faces you want for your online site accounts. After this you are almost done and ready to troll.

  The last step being the hardest is being disclosed. What I mean by this is that you never...ever! reveal your REAL LIFE INFO! This is an important principle to follow if you want to remain anonymous online. Even the slightest bit of info such as your first name or birthday could be linked back to you. (This is where I get technical so bear with me) Smart hackers, computer wizzy's, government, and companies can use that info to find any information they want to know being your house that you live in, your Computer's IP Address (where your internet signal is coming from, like the address on your street), any accounts linked to that name or birthdate, hack into your email account and reset the password and completely steal any accounts that are linked to that email, or can just completely use your computer's IP address to simply spy on what you're doing and control your computer by inserting a bug that collects all info from the computers keystrokes and mouse clicks and sends it back to the hacker's computer. So at that note remember if you're going to be a troll online or want to be anonymous, always keep your real identity disclosed at all times!
