Even commercial 'social' media need anonymity.
You control how anonymous you are. If you post non personal stuff under a pseudonym you are anonymous. Even to meta.
That's not the question here.
The 2 problems here are
that F*book scrapes this user's personal data from other random places (very illegal)
and that they change the FB profile without asking the user specifically (should be illegal, but maybe they find an excuse in their terms & conditions)
