I'm very suprised they are not using face tracking and/or device fingerprinting to thwart this.

It's all speculation, but they _seem_ to track a large amount of data to try and check for "new profiles" that are old users starting a new account, supposedly for 3 months after you delete your account. These are the ones I've seen commonly talked about.

- Phone Number

- IP

- Device IDs

- Email

- Photo hashes

- Photo exif

- Facial recognition

- Linked Facebook, Instagram, Spotify accounts
