If they can track it to your family they'll track it to you. How much torture do you think your family can take? Stealing a random strangers identity is much safer. And even if you practice communism, they're going to track it to your commune and how much torture do you think your comrades can take before they give you up? I'm just glad I don't live in UK and I might have a couple more months to work it out. UK had to early release all the rapists just to make room for the thousands of people getting sent using slurs on social media.

If your family were at risk of torture from the regime, you'd be reckless to use family. But that's assuming the regime knows where you live, and are wanted. Every individual has a dynamic puzzle to work through. Being an informal lodger (no contracts and they think your name is Bob) in a rural home is pretty safe. Just keep your internet activity masked behind a good VPN so the ISP can't see it.
