No but context matters. And I also trust them more
Pro tip: Don't trust anyone, but my guess is this is how they do deduplication and bot detection while also having a tie to who is actually the owner of the account in case anything illegal pops up. Say for example you join a free speech platform and claim you're going to assassinate someone and you post pictures of who, where, and with what. Without someway to identify you that threat is just something to turn people away from the platform. So I wouldn't assume privacy, being able to speak freely does not mean you are talking privately.
If you find a certain pattern between users who are bots (android version, apps installed, identical phone numbers) you can use that to build a heuristic and shadowban people.
Give it time, every company that isn't centered around free speech to the core with every single hire will eventually follow the same path as every large company.
