Social media has certainly changed the way we interact with others and socialize. We?re no longer limited to our immediate social circles. We can engage other people a half a world away. The new platforms have more than 500 people engaging on a daily basis using sites like Facebook, and some pay little attention to how they send their comments around the web.

Some who like to be a bit more smooth (like a ninja pirate captain) and stealthy in order to get their message or their point across. It’s led to people searching for the perfect way to send an anonymous message through Facebook. There are numerous reasons such as:

* Telling off your boss * Tipping off your crush that someone likes them * Connecting with a lost lover * Blowing the whistle on corruption * Providing a tip on illegal activity * Telling your neighbor to clean their damn yard up * Letting a classmate know they need to shower after gym * Letting someone know they talk entirely too loud * Informing a coworker the break room is not the place to talk about things enjoy scratching * Providing feedback to a retailer or business owner

There are a number of ways to send an anonymous message but it still begs the questions – can you send an anonymous message through Facebook? In the end, the unfortunate answer is no. At least not without doing a lot of work and in the end it’s not even truly anonymous.

If all you have to access Facebook is your own personal profile then you can’t send an anonymous message through Facebook. The info would show that it?s from you with your name and photo. This info is visible anytime you connect with someone else. Even if you could send a truly anonymous message, you likely wouldn’t make it past the spam filters on the social network.

The only way to shoot for anonymous on Facebook is to actually make a completely separate profile to use for sending an anonymous message. Unfortunately that takes a lot of work and it means populating all the information fields and acquiring friends to make it look legit. Even then the person may not respond to you when you finally send the anonymous message – it’s not truly anonymous it’s just from some Joe they don’t know.

If that sounds like too much work then try some of the other methods that are available online for sending an anonymous message – and none of them require as much work or the chance of compromising your identity. The best one to focus on is an anonymous messaging service that will allow you to contact people anonymously using either short email messages or a letter to a physical address.

The most reliable services will also provide some access to a premium level service that will allow you to send a multi-page letter with quality photo prints to a physical address – anonymously right through the mail. That’s a great option if you have something urgent and serious to deliver to a recipient but you don’t want to reveal your identity.

These services are among the best choices to send an anonymous message and it’s easy to use so you don’t have to sit around creating profile information for hours on end just send to a simple message. Think about how it will feel to have that weight off your chest once you finally speak your mind and get the word out. Let the truth set you free and send that anonymous message today.

Do we still have the right to speak, be heard and say what we think without revealing our true identity? The simple answer is YES, for now. Our First Amendment rights actually provide us with the ability to have a voice without a face. Oddly enough, as we witness the never ending erosion of our freedom of speech rights; there is an inevitable trend of holding people accountable for what they say and applying punitive measures should your statements not be politically correct.

Heaven forbid you speak out of turn and offend someone with “better senses”. It’s situations like this that have brought not only civil litigation but also criminal prosecution.

It is anyone’s guess what the government or our society in general will do or how they will take it as going forward people refuse to bow down and relinquish their right to speak freely. It is clear that it is getting risky to say the least, to speak ones mind openly about subjects that have political contention.

The Silent Sender team, and community, believes you should never fear speaking-up. It is up to you whether you decide to speak but we believe it should be whenever possible. Never forget that you are guaranteed a voice. If you aren’t sure though that what needs to be said can be said safely let SilentSender.com’s anonymous messaging service say it for you.

It has been a frequent topic in the media lately that young adults and teens and even some adults are using the internet as a means to bully each other. It appears that a concerted effort is being made to educate children and their parents on the dangers of online bullying. The shortcoming seems to be the lack of focus on the potentially deadly threat of internet predators.

World wide there has been an outcry of anger at the practice of anonymously attacking others on forums and social sites. There have been efforts made to dissuade people from using these sites and at the very least to convince people to “play nice.” These types of attacks, also known as flaming, are generally directed at a single individual who simply voiced a differing opinion. It is being looked at as very severe abuse. This is because of the massive audience and possibility of far more serious repercussions than typical schoolyard bullying.

Not everyone believes cyberspace itself to be the source of these antisocial tendencies. Silent Sender takes the view that bullying stems from the home and school environments rather than the internet itself. The root issue is not with the medium that teens and young adults express themselves through. The emotional conflict and social anxieties of our youth are not caused by having friend-count jealousy. It is far more likely that it is a byproduct of normal emotional growth.

A new study suggests that Facebook may actually “cause” depression amongst emotionally vulnerable users because they may perceive a lack of on-line contacts as a failure on their part (or, believe that nobody likes them). The same doctors also admit that social networking sites may not “cause” new occurrences of depression but may be an extension of an ongoing depressive state. More about the Facebook story can be found here.

There is no doubt that social networking sites create an opportunity for abuse. Even non-anonymous forums still allow anonymity because anyone can create a fake email address and setup an account with false credentials. Demonizing social networking sites and “Question” forums because they encourage cyber-bullying is a big reach. Doing away with such sites will just open up new opportunities for teens to socialize in other digital venues that let them express themselves- and the potential for abuse will still exist.

Maintaining anonymity during chat and while sending mail is an integral part of the online experience and a valuable tool to maintain our safety from the far more dangerous types of online predators, the ones the bullies are keeping out of the spot light.

Silent Sender has taken strides through research and information gathering to improve the quality of the online experience. Taking into account the voices and opinions of anonymous users to identify and improve the usefulness and quality of anonymous networking. Their preliminary research has thus far produced some surprising findings.

There are a lot of legitimate and legal reasons to want to send an anonymous email. It is obvious that with anonymity comes the potential for misuse but it can also be used to prevent harm. If for example a person was in hiding from an abuser and was fearful for their life being able to send an anonymous email could help insure it would not be intercepted by the one they are hiding from before the situation could be properly resolved by the authorities. Anonymity is integral with free speech, it is not something that to be taken lightly. It is important to remember it is not a tool designed to do wrong it is designed for defense against being wronged for your opinions and beliefs.

A recent claim from researches at Montreal’s Concordia University promises a new method that can determine an emails author. Using digital profiling techniques similar to criminal forensics. A sample batch of emails can be compared and analyzed to reveal a “signature” in the writing style. The “signature” can then be compared to known authors and an identification made. This technique can basically works of by revealing consistencies or inconsistencies and uses pattern recognition.

Combating cyber crime was the main drive for performing this research. In 2010 identity theft was a very common consumer complaint. One of the primary methods used by cyber criminals is to try to dupe unsuspecting consumers using anonymous or forged emails. The main technique used to track criminals down is to identify the IP address that leads back to the residence along with capturing the Media Access Controller address which is an integrated static address in the Network Interface Card which is one of several components that can specifically ID a computer remotely. By matching those up with company records from service providers and possibly manufacturers they can do a lot to track down domestic criminals. It doesn’t help with anyone in many foreign countries though. By using the email signature they have a digital “fingerprint” of the operator and not just the machine.

If you are worrying if this means the end of anonymous communications then be consoled. With a simple solution you can get past that little speed bump. There are tools that a lot of content copywriters and SEO professionals use every day to “spin” articles as part of their service. The way this works is you write some content and assign variables to the structure and syntax of the content. You provide replacement words and phrases that are randomly replaced each time you “spin” the article. With enough variants a large amount of spun content could be generated. A similar process could be used with the content of emails (kind of like money laundering for content) the end result would be a randomly generated variant of the original email, removing any identifying signatures that might reflect the senders identity.

Those not involved in criminal activities and who are only concerned with protecting themselves and their privacy have nothing to fear even if they are stumbled upon by authorities. The criminals however will be much worse off as demonstrated by the arrests made for US citizens foolish enough to run spam and criminal phishing operations inside the United States. A good many criminal operations are run out of the Eurasian and Asian continents but not exclusively. Even South America has a fair number of these operations going on at a given time. There are unfortunately jurisdictional issues with a majority of the persons running these criminal endeavors. For the most part persons with a legitimate and legal need for anonymous emailing will have very little to worry about from this new technology.

So in closing if you have any trepidation about your identity being revealed or being reported to the federal government based off of your writing style, let it go. Once you run the content through a spin app or a similar content rewriting process, the message will remain intact in spirit even if it is changed in body. This will allow you to say your peace without revealing your own “fingerprints”
