> what can we do about that? But you do know the answer: Quit Facebook. We all have time, so we should vote with it.

  Yes, but you not only have to just quit -- you also must do more. Before deleting your account overwrite everything with garbage data. If you simply close or delete your account, FB saves everything (in case you might come back, they can offer you a better experience, don'tcha' know?). At least overwriting garbage may give you a slightly better chance. You also need to use NoScript or the like and deny all FB scripts. FB tracks and maintains profiles on everyone, even whether or not you are members. They are being sued over this in the EU. Also find and delete their hidden Super-cookies; 200kb of data, including all your other browsing habits, Amazon purchases, etc. Several tutorials are searchable online.

    Don’t forget that all of your friends and family who use Facebook are potentially leaking your data as well. FB has become quite the tentacled monster!

      Had to explain this to my now aging mother who likes to post photos of me without my permission. She gets it in the moment but weeks later back to the same behavior haha. I can't control it if I tried.
