That doesn’t matter for this particular issue as far as I can tell. This is about tracking what Facebook a user does on their device outside of the Facebook app. Even if I used my friend’s phone who uses Facebook, it would count toward their profile. Same as if someone else watches stuff on your Netflix profile.
I don’t have the Facebook app nor do I have an account. This method of tracking is useless for those like me.
Facebook definitely has pictures of me that others have posted. People talking about me, etc. Not sure there’s anything I can do about that.
Meta casts a wide net with all their apps. Maybe someone deletes their Facebook app but still needs WhatsApp to communicate with family, for example. I love the idea of that app in particular “not looking at your messages” while it learns about all your out-of-app browsing behavior without your knowledge or consent.
Sounds like they can’t track people that don’t have their app. So, not something I need to worry about.
…but what about everyone you are frequently interacting with? Not as bad obviously but I don’t think you fully escape the effect is what I am saying.

The fb share button on websites is problematic. Website tracking is problematic. Archivers are my go-to.
FYI you sound incredibly self-centered and unpleasant.
Because I don’t use Facebook? That’s new.
Because you indicate that you don’t care if it happens to others as long as it doesn’t happen to you.
You’re reading a lot into the two sentences I posted. AKA, making shit up.
That’s why I said “you sound” like that and not “you are”. Those two sentences are all you posted. I’m just telling you how they come across to me.
Of course it’s self centring; you’re not thinking about the money billionaires could make from your data, you communist! How will their children eat?
Gonna have to be Wagyu instead of caviar and foie gras. I’m a monster.
