The only entity that could realistically tell us how Meta linked the profile to that person's real name is Meta, and they aren't likely to share that information — so it's not exactly surprising that the tweet lacks detail on the matter.

Or consider the fact that nearly every goddamn site on the planet has javascript or web bugs from Facebook embedded into their site, including banking websites, where you regularly submit PII without a second thought, which could easily be correlated to your logged-in session. Facebook would never create shadow profiles, right? The "Like" button was the biggest Trojan horse of all time.
