Any social network that has people posting any personal data at all, will be mined. For one purpose or another. (And probably for one purpose AND the other.) Almost the only way to stop it would be to make it explicitly illegal, and even then they would still allow mining for certain purposes. There's just no way to get away from it at this point. (Other than just not using social networks at all I suppose?)

Putting personal data out there means... putting personal data out there, advertisers mining that data is a hard problem to solve. So can we re-orient the need for a solution to the injection of advertising into the platform? Lets solve this problem one step at a time and first stop those advertisers from leveraging the platform to distribute advertisements, instead only allowing them to mine the data to support ad campaigns. Once that's done we can look at salves for the data mining of social media, though I can't see that being possible without really resilient privacy enforcement.
