Since you pay your internet bill to your ISP and they are forced to log everything, they can track you down really quick. If you on the otherside want some privacy you can make it really hard for them to find you by using proxyservers, thor network, etc. Always Sign messages with an alternate identity when protected and never use this identity if unprotected. If talking about private communication use signatures and encryption. And then there is a factor luck: how extremely carefull your are, your friends may be not so carefull and everybody makes mistakes sooner or later. But in the long run, if they want to track you nomatter what, they can, and they will find you. The only thing you can do is discourage them.
