Can confirm. I've been perma-banned several times. One account was banned out of the blue for being on the same device as another banned account. It was my first account from 2011 and I rarely used it and never posted outright "bigoted or racist" content because some people IRL knew me on that account. Just one day, it was banned. I tried using burner phone numbers, but they track those too. You can use the number once, but once it's been banned, you can't use it again. They even know when a phone number is from some app or website instead of a cell service provider and pre-emptively block those as well. Once you do manage to create a new account, they'll also flag your account for following other problematic accounts. I've even gotten warnings for "liking" certain comments.
Screen resolution is not available to them unless you fullscreen your window.
They can only ban vpn exit nodes. Since you can use twitter on common vpn, they have not done so. Even if they did, you can still use TOR to confuse them as to where you are.
Incognito is how you clear cookies, offline, and web site data and disconnect that session from any other.
There are several ways to make website data stick around or identify you.
1. Cookies 2. Offline data 3. IndexedDB 4. Canvas fingerprinting 5. web rtc
Cookies can be cleared easily, oftentimes people set the browser to clear them when it is closed.
Offline data is a javascript memory storage that persists despite clearing your normal history, cookies, etc. It is there for javascript use and is limited to around 5 meg or so. It can be cleared by setting your browser to clear offline data.
IndexedDB is effectively a javascript database. That's not entirely correct but it's close enough for this. It persists like offline data but unlike offline data, it will handle as much data as you can throw at it within the limits of the browser and computer. It can be cleared by clearing "website data" as opposed to "offline data." Most people forget this when they clear their browser.
Canvas fingerinting is a combination of techniques to collect data points the browser exposes such as number and types of fonts installed, accelerometers, battery levels, phone and camera presence, location awareness, window size, browser version, user behavior (such as mouse tracking) and so on. By itself, it is relatively meaningless but when taken as a whole and with an eye for metrics analysis, it not only can identify your device uniquely, it has potential to identify YOU as a person though this is a rarer case scenario. It can be used in conjunction with other browser data to do things like record you mouse movement, scrolling habits, time spent on a specific part of a page and so on. Then it can send that recording to the server for saving and comparison.
Web RTC is a protocol used in teleconference calls and allows such software to work correctly even despite firewalls and vpns. The problem is that it leaks your REAL IP address.
All of this together can create a unique fingerprint of your device, potentially you.
They seemingly used all possible tools under the sun. I have been using many accounts throughout the years, at least 2-3 functional accounts at any time and one or two more pending some suspension appeal.
Now I would not only need a new phone, new email but at this point it seems I would also need a new IP and mac address (aka new hardware and new location).
I'm not denying that I have been an offensive tweeter, but twitter IS a hate machine. My brand of hate just wasn't mainstream enough.
You can force your ISP to give you a new IP address by changing the mac address presented by your router to your modem. Alternatively, leave the modem unplugged for just over 24 hours.
Only dumbfuck pieces of shit are browsing a site known for their fingerprinting and censorship from a phone. People who do that are everything that is wrong with the internet world.
Right, but if I have to use a VPN, renew my IP and/or spoof my MAC, I think I'm fine with twitter in read-only. Even if I do all that, I'd be prompted to confirm a phone number after the first time I'm reported.
They did effectively succeed at "making me stop". For now.
No. I flat out tell them I don't have a phone number and that even if I did, I would never give it out for a website. For all they know, I'm some lazy shit shacked up in my friend's house so I'm not homeless.
The real question is why anyone would want to...kinda like a dumb bitch forever returning to the wifebeater...for a fresh pair of blackeyes. Guess Twatter, Fakebook and Reddit are serving up some powerful addictive dope, or maybe just a case of masochists needing the sadists?

I highlight all the ways they can fingerprint you.
And if you're not taking those precautions as a matter of common practice, you deserve exactly everything that happens to you.
