False. Everyone can opt out of Facebook.
No, you can't. They collect your data even if you've never had an account, or if you've deleted your account.

False. They'll track whether you have an account or not. Even NoScript won't completely disable their tracking. If you use the web, Meta is watching you.
Joke's on them. I go to all those weird porn sites just so they won't know the real me. I would never be interested in such filth. It's so that their A.I. will get confused, get hoodwinked. Yup. That's why I do that.
Now if you'll excuse me, I must go mess up their algorithm again.
