Diplomat or investigator, whistle-blower or a political refugee fearing for your life; some have cause to use the internet anonymously. Yet privacy is dead – and that’s on the authority of Google, as Peter Loshin reminds us at the beginning of his book Practical Anonymity. There are tools, and Loshin takes us through the Tor Project. In a world where even David Petraeus, the US general then director of the CIA, notoriously had private emails made public, it’s easy to overlook that on the internet we leave tracks. As the book does get technical with exit nodes and bridge relays, you may want to browse www.torproject.org first. Even if you don’t like the sound of it, it’s as well to know that IT use such tools to test firewalls, and business people to access competitor websites anonymously.
