In 2016, there was a ruckus about Facebook collecting nonmembers viewing habit across the internet, so the answer is yes for my case. As far as I know, as a nonmember, I cannot access my shadow profile unless I join and give them yet more data to invade my privacy.
Rather than live in George Orwell's nightmare, I have resorted to spending my time blocking their tracking at the dns request level on my router for all my devices. The great thing is you can block a bunch of other trackers and spyware as well.
- soared 9y agoThere is a page for non-member data requests. (I can't access fb at work, but there is a page for it)
- 411mrc 9y agoThis is even more highly disturbing and problematic. How do I prove it's me? How do they keep other people from impersonating my "shadow" and downloading my data w/o my knowledge? Face book needs to delete all nonmember data now. My solution is to block everything they do via dns. I blocked 43 requests from my devices this morning alone, and I stay as far away as I can, and yet they tried to access 43 times. My next tactic is to spook them into thinking I moved to Europe and they risk serious revenue loss if they continue data collection w/o opting in. I will probably get a euro VPN once the law takes effect and see via dns if they still collect.
- chopin 9y agoI can access FB, but there I cannot find any page for that (I cannot login as I have no account). Searching doe not reveal anything.
