What? If they switch devices and accounts, it doesn't matter WHAT is being "fingerprinted'... there's no way a unique identifier will persist across that type of change. Points for the theory though.

The context here is "fingerprinting" you based on what your fingers do.

So that will persist across devices and accounts.

And before you say that's crazy, location information can mean they only need to distinguish a handful of people at a time.
