  "textContent": "Thank you both for your feedback!\n\nuser1:\n\n> My guess is that the accounts are likely to be connected since your IP is the same and the third party client accessing the platform is a big fingerprint factor.\n\nAs I said in my post, I am hoping that the fact that I am using a VPN would mitigate that, since other Twitter users probably have the same VPN IP.\n\nI did not consider that that third party app would have a fingerprint though.\n\npika:\n\n> Regarding privacy , i agree with what user1 said above. I think there would be multiple identifying factors other than your ip.\n\nThanks for reinterating it. I guess it’s not a good idea.\n\npika:\n\n> Do you really care if twitter knows that you own the 2 accounts ?\n\nYes.\n\npika:\n\n> is it for protecting you from any politically sensitive stuff ?\n\nYes.\n\npika:\n\n> if yes then twitter would probably know about it ,\n\nGot it.\n\npika:\n\n> If the threat is not from twitter directly but from public\n\nIt’s both. My default Twitter account is linked to my real identity. I recently created a more private Twitter account that I want to make my default. The thing is, I don’t really want to manage both accounts in the same app or device. My original plan was to have a desktop only account and a mobile only Twitter account, and to retire the account linked to my identity.\n\nHowever, the account linked to my identity has all the people I follow which is over 1000+. I also have lists. I want to follow the same account with my “anonymous” account. But as far as I know there is no easy way to follow all the same people another account is following in just one click. I also worry that if there is such a way, I would be linking my anonymous account and the one tied to my identity.\n\npika:\n\n> i would say as far as twitter is allowing you to use a third party client , you are protected from lot more tracking than the official app .\n\nThat is good to know.\n\npika:\n\n> i tried flare app , it won’t even login into twitter if i have vpn on. So i am skeptical if its really going to help with tracking protection.\n\nAs I explained, I haven’t been able to log into the official Twitter app since the beginning of the year ever since I changed my password. I didn’t try to log in without a VPN because that was out of the question. But based on research, I believe I can’t log in because my Android phone is not linked to any Google account, and I do not use the Google Play Store. I only use F-Droid and Aurora, and the Google Play Store is deliberately disabled.\n\nWhen you log into Twitter via Flare, it is via web, it’s not via Twitter’s app. When I first tried logging in, it wouldn’t let me, but then I changed my VPN location, and it worked. With the official Twitter app, changing locations doesn’t make a difference.",
