Eh, maybe reupload that somewhere else and not directly link to a government website that will certainly log all IPs accessing it.

Ain't that what VPNs are for?

VPNs aren't completely safe. Its better than no VPN, but like... they're the CIA, dont think you can hide from them.

VPNs are just shifting trust from ISP to the VPN provider, who could be secretly working with governments. Like I'd say its okay for things like "trump is a piece of shit", but not "Hey, this is how you sabotage stuff", and definitely not "We should kill [Insert Politician Name Here]".

Even TOR isn't safe either, if you use it enough times, eventually you'll get 3 nodes owned by the government.

Don't think that The goverment can't track me, I got a VPN! then try to incite revolution. You will absolutely get tracked down.

VPN and Tor is only for making it slightly more difficult to find you so that they only use their resources on de-anonymizing higher priority targets. Do not make your self become their higher priority targets.

If I was a spy agency that had basically yes money, what would I do?

Open a cheap VPN service, buy a lot of advertising for it, and say "no no, were not collecting logs or anything, no no"
