[Insert: This is not legal advice blurb, don't do and don't encourage anything illegal]

[Insert: appeal to authority as to why I should post this question and should have your attention]

[Insert: divulging something specific only to me or to maybe a few hundred people in [country/continent] to ideally encourage engagement so more people reply]

Just curious.

I do not care about dox. I have nothing to hide, like a need for anonymity. I only care about corporate targeted manipulation focusing on my immediate interactions like page dwell time and targeted suggested posts, studies, and products used to manipulate me with politics and advertising
