I agree everything implemented will likely be more trackable. It's already trackable as far as governments are concerned - both FB and ISPs will gladly give any data requested by governments, and tracking is one JOIN away if you didn't use a good VPN. I was just commenting that it's possible to make the payment untrackable, and not very hard. > That only applies if I tell my real name to any of those people, which I don't. FB also correlates by a thousands items if you use the FB app, and (at least) by IP address if you don't. Hopefully, you never ever logged in to any other website with the same browser (or are using a super strict uBO / uMatrix policy), because that website will likely correlate you through their embedded FB pixel/like button. > It is impossible to get off of FB without being denied access to things which are a central part of social life, e.g. events. I guess you are in the US? That's not been my experience in other places. Everything still happens by email as well in other places. (The same cannot be said about WhatsApp - however - which cannot be escaped outside the US; If you meant "including WhatsApp" when you said FB, then I agree - though if you don't backup and don't use WhatsApp web, your copy of the conversation is still private. Metadata and the other party's is likely not.....)
