I'm a pretty big advocate of privacy, but in order to protect mine, I take certain steps in order to avoid letting people use any of my personal information. For starters, any social media I use, I use one of my many nicknames. I never use my real name, birthdate, and none of the information I use in any of these sites is accurate. My address, my age, my DOB - NOTHING is real in my profile. Even the picture I use isn't me. This way, I control who gets my information and what they use it for. If Facebook is using my information, it certainly doesn't represent me in anyway. If you really want to control the information, you can.
