  >Lots of people do this... You mean a very small percentage of FB users do this? The point being as parent comment said it’s not “a little effort and minimal cost”. Figure a $10-15 overhead cost for the domain and maybe $5/month/e-mail account? Effectively to minimize tracking on Facebook one would have to spend a minimum of $70/year? It doesn’t seem like a great solution...go with a “free product” like Facebook in exchange allowing them to collect and monetize your data, only to pay to combat their business model? May as well offer a competing service that doesn’t track you, collect/monetize your data and pay say...half the cost of a domain and email.
