Stop using it. It really is that simple.

  Stop using banks, taxi, delivery, mobile apps, Internet stores and Internet in general.

    Many of these things indeed leak your data and usage patterns to Facebook (among other malicious actors), whether you use it or not (some do it server-side so no amount of client-side countermeasures will help).

  Companies breaking the law isn’t about individual using or not using it, if the service itself is illegal. Facebook is likely in the same situation as drug dealers, prostitutes, assassins etc the existence of willing customers doesn’t make their business model legal. They can change their business model or change the law. Of course if it’s possible that they win, but completely baseless lawsuits get dismissed.

  Many people have years invested into facebook. Taking it away would be just like involuntarily wiping your phone and computer to factory settings, with no backup. It's something you'd recover to some extent from, but it a) would take a lot of time and a lot of work, which you might not have time for right now, and b) people will forget to tell you about parties, indefinitely. I'm using empathy here, as someone who quit facebook 15 years ago. Saying it's easy to quit facebook is like saying it's easy to quit the gas company, or eating meat. You don't have to use natural gas, and you don't need meat.
