If I log in to my account that includes my name, will my previously anonymous device now be associated with my account? What if I do the same in TailsOS?

    So, unfortunately, the only thing to do is not provide them with more data points to track you, i.e. avoid intrusive social media altogether or move to social media which collect less data.

    Yeah… That’s not very possible. 95% of people use Facebook/Instagram/Snapchat and these are the only ways to contact them. I’m ok with using these intrusive services for a few minutes at a time to contact people. However, I absolutely do not want facebook to know that me and @[email protected] are the exact same person.

      Then, to minimize the harm, be cautious of (third-party) cookies (reject them all) and may be use a different browser/session for Facebook.
