Thank you for the clarification. That makes sense, although I'm not 100% sure I agree that it doesn't need the information to function. It could be de-identified for the individual, sure. But to actually use the service you need to connect with others, whose identities you must know something about. By following pages or celebrities or whatever you indicate that you are interested in their subject material. So in order to properly use the application you must give up something.

Yes, but clicking "like" on a celebrity's FB page is not personally identifiable information. You cannot use to it discover the person's identity. To connect to other users on a service, I don't need to know any personal details about them, only their chosen username, which can be completely random and have no relation to their identity.
