Depending on where you live, Meta keeps track of your:
* Full name.
* Previous name if you change your name
* E-mail (past, current, future)
* Date of birth and age.
* Address (past, current, future)
* Living state (do you own, lease, or rent)
* Phone number (past, current, future)
* Cellular device model (past, current, future)
* Cellular device IMEI number (serial too, if provided)
* Friends
* Family relationship
* Relationship status
* Marital status
* Personal associations status
* Sexual preferences
* Gender identity
* Education (past, current, future)
* Employment status (past, current, future)
* Income
* Travel status (GPS)
* Shopping
* Political affliction
* Government affiliation.
* Browser history
If you had to verify your account and submitted documentation, we additionally keep track of:
* Residence status
* Driving status (if you have a license or not)
* Whether if you have passport or not. - But the system will assume you do, if they notice your travel status (GPS) moves internationally.

If at any time you shared a link back to any of your personal accounts, anywhere -- Meta knows you have an account.
That includes competing social media platforms, such as the Fediverse.
The value in this is both market resource and further marketing, for example, if you talked about watching Netflix, expect Meta to recommend, HBO Max. And if Meta notices you're using a known competing app or platform, Meta's app will increase the notification to draw you back to Meta.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://mk.absturztau.be/notes/a8m9uef425pm00c2 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
So, if you wondered why that random friend or family member, tried Mastodon, but that week felts drawn to use Facebook more, that is why. They were targeted.
