7. It is entirely possible to mask your activities on the internet completely.

It is after all just a string of bits. As with pictures and hard drives, you can put anything you want there if you know how, create fake identities, anything you like. But it's technically challenging and a lot of work, and you have to acquire the means.

And then there is encryption and obfuscation and lying, and such things as Saras mentions. Create some background scripts that keep your connection busy all the time, give them a pile of dung to sort through trying to figure you out.

But why bother? The internet is not about privacy, was not built for privacy, the internet was built to be open, and for good reasons too.
