As we will soon come to understand, anonymity on the internet is difficult without help baked into the internet protocol is placing the IP address into the packet header, meaning that any message that is sent to a server reveals your IP address (which reveals quite a bit about your identity and is often one of the primary means of internet tracing). Note that anonymity is not the same as confidentiality, which is about keeping the message private, whereas anonymity is concerned with keeping one’s identity private. In the context of the Internet, we may want anonymous communications wherein the identity of the source and/or destination are concealed. This is the basis of anonymity, essentially a methodology that enables you to conceal your identity.
This way your message gets posted to the forum but without your name attached to it. One possible solution would be to randomly choose one member of the group on the participant list, send them a private message with your message and have them post the message with their name instead. How would you go about using the chat to achieve that? Imagine you wanted to use a group messaging app to share a public message but did not want your name attached to your message.
