I want to make a twitter account to send one specific message and don’t want to provide my actual mail address.

Edit: apparently, I will have to retrieve a verification code, so an accessible inbox is necessary.

You need a VPN and some basic browser plugins to prevent fingerprinting. Mullvad is a good VPN. You can check out privacytools.io for more privacy stuff. There’s fundamentally no way to make it all untraceable, but you can make it harder depending on who you’re trying to protect against

I remember having some trouble with Tor and trying Tutanota instead, but maybe I can try again

In Firefox you can use the privacy.resistFingerprinting config flag. It will do a bunch of stuff like genericize the user agent, time zone, window size, etc etc etc. It will make browsing the web more difficult, so if you try to use it as your default choice you should expect some websites to break.

I find it a bit annoying to deal with browser profiles explicitly, so in Linux I cheat it with Firejail. firejail --private=~/firefoxjail firefox -no-remote will run a sandboxed Firefox, preserve the state of the files in a folder called firefoxjail, and -no-remote makes sure it launches in a new window/session.

For sure. I hope if anyone is doing serious whistleblowing and trying to do so while hiding from a world government, they’ve gotten some practice in first with lower stakes stuff. I can’t imagine trying to get everything right on the first try
