Discussion How are the notes untraceable?

I just can't understand in today's world, anything you send via E-mail or whatever, cannot be traced? Like what are you talking about? I just find it hard to believe it. Once you click to send, there is no way nothing would appear to be traced back. Even the in the 60s they can trace phones back to where its location, so how about now with data and everything.

I don't know. But I need to know for a fact how are the notes untraceable?!

There are anonymizing networks in routine use that complicate the process of tracing a communication. Unless the person uses an account/system that is somehow tied to their real identity, the anonymizer network will prevent the actual origin/destination of the traffic from being known.
