tracking typing intervals to identify who’s using a computer

[Deleted member 43881]

Since everyone has a unique typing fingerprint for how you type keystrokes like you do for your voice since it’s the same muscule memory

The feds could identify if two anon accounts are the same person based on how they type

id bet that certain groups of people have similar keystroke patterns like incels probably have similar keystroke patterns probably

It's possible to de-anonymize you based on the time intervals between your key presses and releases, but they would need that data in the first place (likely from a website you use that collects this information - disabling JavaScript completely mitigates this anyway) and another dataset containing this information that is linked to your identity in some way.

Assuming you can't disable fully disable JavaScript, you can:
- Use something like kloak to obfuscate your keystroke interval data.
- Write userscripts for specific websites (that track keystroke interval data) to modify the original JavaScript code in-order to obfuscate this data.
- Type into a local notepad and paste it into the website afterward (only do this selectively as this behavior itself can be identifiable).
