It is true. Once you've been on one of these sites, it's like having virtual dog shit stuck to your shoe. This also applies to pages that have only embedded these pages and, of course, at least Facebook demonstrably creates a shadow profile about you without your knowledge if you visit the page without having an account. They are allowed to do this because this page is not an offer, but a tool for intelligence services. However, anyone who voluntarily shows their ID and registers with their real name in order to be allowed to post shit for which they could even be legally prosecuted in the real world probably has no idea how things work anyway.
Anything you do online can be tracked. This isn’t a new or controversial thought this is a known quantity. The internet, email, even the dark net were all government creations. If you want to avoid being tracked avoid using the internet, and sure as shit don’t DARPA LifeLog your actions on social media.
They are certainly not almighty, though, and many things that bind your accounts to your real identity were added to social networks' code bases as an afterthought (i.e 2FA).
Rob Braxman makes a distinction between "surveillance capitalism" and "being enemy of the state". You can fight the former quite successfully by exercising some good privacy judgement (and it definitely goes far beyond cookies and not using big tech), but for the latter, you should probably stay away from all tech.
It doesn't matter if you have an account. They will track you via every means possible. If you have JavaScript they can do it any number of ways, but if you don't they will track your IP, time of day, referrer, origin, various other HTTP headers which are injected by CloudFlare etc....cookies and all manner of image pings and tracker pixels, and then they can also correlate this data by time, place, and carriers.
Not unless you get on a list 😉 - but in actual fact is is more like there are people who are hired to always work on this. The 100M they have they aren't needed to improve their tracking on, so they shift their efforts to those who are tough to track.
It's not like the old days where they need to have a dedicated team. It's now more automatic and they are constantly tweaking the algorithms to pull that data out
I can confirm everything except for the real name part. Integration with Facebook’s login system might enable this. I don’t think insta and Reddit do KBA

Not easy, but doable.
