I wonder how much you could find by correlating subjects and way of writing. Not so many people hide their writing style as well.

There’s some folks who will run their sentences through google translate and back between languages with poor translation coverage to strip identifying writing styles.

Hi Google! It's Robert Hackerman, here with the County Search Engine Inspector Office.
Google: Hi Bob! How can I help you?
Robert: I have a bunch of phrases passed through your Google Translate, can you help me find the IP that submitted them? Thanks.

Well, if they can get through to Google Support, what can a mere Human do to hide? ;)
On a more serious note, if you're going to that level of security, you're probably using something like TOR anyway (otherwise they simply ask the site the text was posted on for the IP). Additionally, you can use multiple services for each translation, obscuring the trail further. Good luck getting that data from Yandex.
Lastly, I'm not sure whether Google (and others) really log every sentence entered, but as described before, you can easily avoid that. Or read the privacy policy.

I wonder if you could ask GPT-3: "rephrase ...".

Absolutely. However, if I were to do this I'd go more direct. If you have an NN that assesses writing style then you can do a "style-transfer"-type GAN that ensures that it will classify as some chosen style other than your own.

Oh no doubt. The technology definitely already exists. A wonderful algorithm that all the security agencies use.

This is how they caught the unabomber
His ideas are strange.
His conversational style is combative.
He published a book. He used his forum nick as the author name.
He won't let anybody even know his age. Forget occupation or nation.
