Not accurate. Due to how widespread facebook trackers are, it can identify you from the behaviour of others. People in your social circle linking to your content. People in your subnet using facebook services. People who hgave your phone numbers linking to your content on whatsapp etc. It's scary how easy it is for a massive corpo to remove anonymity from anyone if they want to.
