They can read whatever the OS let's them have. Cellphones are tracked this way, and is known as IEMI address. You'd really have to examine what they're installing on your machine and the network traffic going back and forth. Check out Rob Braxman on YouTube, Rumble and Odysee for this. Android/Google and Apple phone all spy on you, and so does Windows.

Do you have a specific source on the websites you're visiting gathering your MAC address? That's the part I call BS on, it's never been used that way. Public wifi networks could use it for tracking, but that's different and it isn't going to be much use, because recent Android versions use a randomized MAC address by default.

IEMI is used to identify your phone when using the cellular network. This is probably used to track your movement, which you can circumvent by putting your phone in airplane mode. Anyway, you're clearly conflating things.

The Feds can get access to such things, and to be honest they're embedded on the darknet and the clearnet. I don't have any proof that they can see it on Reddit and other places, but I'm assuming 1) law enforcement is active on the internet and 2) they have the tools both physically and legally to obtain it.

If the Feds and private corporations can get your phone number when you call a private company, then that too can be used to track you. The IEMI number is hard-coded into every phone, so why wouldn't Feds want to track that information?

In regards to a computer's MAC: that too can be tracked, because Tails and other Linux distros randomize and spoof it. My own home router has this functionality too. If hackers can get this, then so can government forces.

You are not making much sense. The NSA may be able to access your MAC address, but the randomization makes it useless for tracking, and even if it isn't randomized, it can only be used to track your movement. The subject was tracking your web activity. Reddit doesn't come into play at all in this story.

How do you know what Reddit sees or doesn't see? You realize governments have influenced that site, don't you? There were people here who said they were banned even with new devices and stuff. They have a variety of ways to determine who you are.
