Anonymous account unmasking represents a new threat to anonymity. not just this technique with llms, but the earlier text similarity one.

But I think it would be generally easier to counter in the same way.

Use an llm or heuristics to pose as someone else.

not only do you erase your traces, you add false positives in to the system which reduces the overall effectiveness of these techniques in the future. A bit of poisoning the well.

I hope eventually an easy to use tool, with maybe a small local llm, can make it easy enough to do this, so that any future deanonymization attacks would be too untrustworthy to rely on
