The website owner still has the ultimate responsibility for what is served on their site.

If they employ some "social media marketing expert" who deploys tracking code, then that's still on them.

On the other hand, Facebook could design their social media widgets in a way that doesn't require the user to send a GET request to Facebook unless the user actively clicks to share.

Also know as a link. That's not Web 3.0 enough.

Most of these sites don't want you to navigate away from their page. They would rather you can share without leaving their site (i.e. a dialog pops up that allows you to create your Facebook "share" post, and submit it).
