Where there's a will, there's a way.

The internet is designed to send data from point A to point B. Keeping point A and point B truly anonymous means that the internet won't work.

Tools like Tor don't really protect you, it's more like they make it hard enough to figure out who you are that only people with strong incentives will track you down.
