How can I make anonymous Twitter account?


Is there any way that works today to make anonymous Twitter account, that doesn’t involve providing phone number or email address? I suppose I can create a throwaway email but it’s nearly impossible to get a phone number anonymously in EU. TIA!

Don’t, twitter is not secure by protocol design, if you want to make an anonymous one -as in it doesn’t have your name/pic- sure, but going against state sponsored targets will easily get you exposed, DMs aren’t encrypted yet, APIs can be reversed and exploited to reveal more info, spies/insider threats can be paid to access your data with certain privileges, still relies on a broken protocol for verification (sms) that can be targeted with sim swap attacks, or exposing more info even with a burner such as how/when you bought it, etc. and all of these happened when twitter was relatively at a better state than it’s now, so I assume things are even more chaotic, but last part is just my personal opinion.

Bottom line, don’t do it, and if you do, assume you are already exposed and act upon it.

Wrong, also you can use a one-time verification service like 5sim, smspva, etc. or rent a virtual number

Get a burner phone. Or ask a stranger in a coffee shop. Preferably someone who doesn't use all the social media stuff
