    You control how anonymous you are. If you post non personal stuff under a pseudonym you are anonymous. Even to meta.

      Not accurate. Due to how widespread facebook trackers are, it can identify you from the behaviour of others. People in your social circle linking to your content. People in your subnet using facebook services. People who hgave your phone numbers linking to your content on whatsapp etc. It’s scary how easy it is for a massive corpo to remove anonymity from anyone if they want to.

      Not really, the way you write, leaves a fingerprint itself, so with a little bit of AI it’s possible to link personal/identifiable profiles with pseudonymous/anonymous ones.

        I doubt it. But even if your only way of circumventing it is not to use social media. Because social media is not private. That is the point.

      That’s not the question here.

      The 2 problems here are

      that F*book scrapes this user’s personal data from other random places (very illegal)

      and that they change the FB profile without asking the user specifically (should be illegal, but maybe they find an excuse in their terms & conditions)
