This was the major revelation that hundreds of millions of people made when the Snowden stuff was released years ago. Not to imply that the "FAANGs" are pure-minded and fair entities, but you are already required to be identified, documented, tracked, and known, year to year, by many large powerful entities: the company you work for, your bank, the IRS, the Social Security Administration, MasterCard or Visa (I would assume you have at least one credit card), your phone company, the DMV, the judicial system (whether you were the culprit or victim of a crime), and so on. As for what you can do to avoid being known to Facebook, Google, and so on, well, you could move to another country, but then you'd just end up tracked by their services (e.g. VK.com is the #1 site in Russia,[0] and Baidu and WeChat are respectively the #1 search and social network in China, with 980 million MAUs[1][2], and they are now requiring gov't IDs[3]).

But an answer to your specific question, as far as specifically avoiding Facebook, Google, and Amazon, is to only visit websites that don't have any link to those sites (e.g. no Facebook link, no Google Analytics script and make sure no one you know uses Google Voice, and not built on AWS), and don't use email anymore, just text messaging and phone calls.
