A notable way to protect against this is to use a VPN. Then the operator only knows you use a VPN.

Also need to be careful of what you write in comments (this is a public forum!). People sometimes write a surprising amount of detail about their life and it makes it much easier to narrow you down to a single individual the more you do it.
