Filling Out Government Surveys and Staying Anonymous
I was reading an article about governments' always looking for input from the public, but in most cases, to give them your opinion you have to provide your name, email address, and postal code. Some forms will ask for your telephone number too. If you don't provide the required information, then you will either be blocked from submitting the form or having your answers discarded. Depending on how they have this form setup, you may get a confirmation email. When the people who are paid to analyze the results see confirmations that have bounced, or not been delivered, it's a good bet that a fake email address was provided.
Luckily, you can provide them with a temporary email address that can't be traced back to you. It will receive the confirmation and you can verify it. There are numerous websites that provide this service. Some are free. TempMail is one such service. This works for setting up social media accounts as well, although you wouldn't want to keep an account you setup with an email that will expire.
Most of the forms collect IP addresses as well. An Internet Protocol address is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. An IP address serves two main functions: host or network interface identification and location addressing. If the postal code you provided doesn't match up with your location, your response to their survey or form could be discarded. You may need a solution for that as well.
The Brave Internet browser does a pretty good job at masking your IP by routing you three or four alternate servers. In order to have this level of anonymity you would have to fill out the survey using a "private window with Tor." A better solution would be to use the Tor Browser. It's a lot closer to impossible to track you. Either one of these would probably work fine.
"Political parties are exempt from the strict legal requirements of prior informed consent in order to gather and use private information on the Internet. Part of the motivation for political party surveying like this is, so they can harvest personal data and use it for whatever political purposes they may wish." ~ Ken C.
These tips will help prevent government employees' from identifying you. For whatever reason you have to remain anonymous, is your own. What you do with this information is clearly up to you.
