For context; I live in a NOT progressive country/region where being LGBT is illegal, and I often post in LGBT spaces. I want to do digital transactions but am afraid of the above will quickly get me in jail.

    This is good advice.

    just wanted to add that OP needs to mask their IP. If they log to social media and other sites, including their bank, with their real IP then the correlation is easily done by a government that will have access to ISP’s logs.

    I’d recommend OP to use a VPN for all their online traffic, making an exception to their bank because they might block VPN/Tor.

    Also, it’s quite important that they never give their real phone number and don’t reuse email accounts. Having a separate browser profile is also a good practice.
