You know that Facebook still collects information about you, even though you may not even have an account, right? [1] http://fortune.com/2018/04/11/mark-zucker

  I understand what you're saying, and you're not wrong. I just find the concept of data about me being "my data" to be strange. If someone takes a picture of me, it's their picture. If I use your website, and you collect information about me, it's your information. Maybe I just don't care what you know about me. I know the REALLY good stuff about me, and I ain't sharin' that with anyone!

    It's not your data, but it's data about you and it better be under your control. Your data might be used to target your with information in order to change your political views, to increase your insurance pricing, to decline a loan, etc...

      Why should it be "under my control?" This is not how I understand the world to work. If I get caught, say, drinking and driving then I don't get to control if newspapers, courts, police, etc, share it with others. If I go to a party and take a shit on the floor I don't get to dictate what the other party attendants do with that information. I don't get to demand they don't take that information into account when deciding to invite me to another party. Also, insurance companies and loan companies don't use Facebook data (nor are they legally allowed to).
