"The only way to keep them from monetizing you for commercial, social or political reasons is to firewall them off."
I have though of spamming face book with a ton of likes and shares of things I am not actually interested in.
What are peoples opinions of that? It has the obvious problem that my friends might associate me with things I actually dislike.
