| Jul 18, 2016 at 2:36 | comment | added | user2284570 | @AdamDavis : In the reality, the vast majority of illegal material that aren’t withdrawed by sites moderators don’t lead their writers to the police in practice. But it can happen. and there’s no previous case of someone posting such material with the account of someone else (because no cases like this were even reported). The problem is I would have to prove that although this my account, I would not be the author of the messages. Using ʜᴛᴛᴘꜱ everywhere on stackexchange is enough but can’t be done on mobile. | |
| Jul 18, 2016 at 2:18 | comment | added | Pollyanna | @user2284570 That sounds like a very oppressive regime. I suggest that any sites you sign up with that do not require two or three factor authentication put your life at grave risk. Consider using a privacy network, such as tor, and don't attach your personal id to any internet sites. Also, I believe this particular attack is taken care of by https, which I believe you can now use on stack exchange. Keep in mind this question is 3 years old. Lastly, hate speech will likely be removed from the sites too quickly to be investigated due to the active community moderation. | |
