How can I publish a blog and newsletter with complete anonymity?
How can I publish a blog and newsletter with complete anonymity?
Let’s say I live in a police state. How can I publish a blog with complete anonymity? If I am found out, there is a high chance of imprisonment or death. What can I do so that the government cannot discover my identity?
I need a blog or website where I can publish articles, with a mailing list feature so I can send those articles out to subscribers.
What tools should I use? What steps should I take to protect myself?
I would greatly appreciate any information or resources that can help me with this.
If you have that threat level, I hope you are already protecting yourself against spying on your web searches. With no protections, you could easily become a target by just looking any of these things up.
Thank you, I am being careful with that.

If you live in such a suppressed area. Tor might be your best bet. Hosting the site on a .onion address.
I could use TOR, but sadly it is unrealistic to expect everyone else to use TOR so a .onion address won't work.
Look at how Mexican narcobloggers do it. Many of their sites are hosted at places like Blogger. They keep backups of everything they write (those sites let you download site archives from your control panel). They access everything over Tor using TAILS. They delay what they post compared to what happened, to make it more difficult to correlate who was within range of an event (i.e., witnesses) and when they posted it. They don't post from home but go elsewhere.
They don't tell anybody they're narcobloggers. At all.
That's awesome, any suggested narco bloggers to check out?
https://elblogdelnarco.com/ is the one everybody seems to go to first. Be careful, there's some pretty fucking horrifying stuff in there.
Thanks, I will look this up. It seems promising.
I find rentry.co/ really useful if you are planning on posting a few blogs, Like for example you can make these pages through tor or a vpn
rentry.co/Liam-I-Vaporized-Elon
Just make text backups of the pages in case they are taken down
I don't think the tools on privacytools.io fit your requirements (maybe globaleaks) but this site is a good start
https://www.privacytools.io/blogs https://www.privacytools.io/private-hosting https://www.privacytools.io/secure-whistleblower
Also some of the privacy messengers here (like Briar) have blogging/forum features similar to Telegram, but you can't access them via a browser, so you would have to get everyone to install those apps:

But realistically speaking like the others suggested: Tor, I2P, Zeronet, etc..
some of the privacy messengers here (like Briar) have blogging/forum features
many people incorrectly assume briar aims to provide some sort of anonymity, because it uses tor onion services and is a self-described "secure messenger". however, that is not the case:
https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/wikis/FAQ#does-briar-provide-anonymity (answer: no)
tldr: briar contacts, even when only actually using onions, exchange their bluetoooth MAC addresses and their most recent IPv6 link-local address and last five IPv4 addresses briar has seen bound to their wlan interfaces, just in case you're ever physically near a contact and want to automatically connect to them locally.
