...I don't care.
I left Facebook but I left my account a husk. If the last thing they ever know is that I went to Krispy Kreme and got a pumpkin spice donut in 2017, then that's cool with me.
I kept it because occasionally a dude needs a $50 TV and it's the best place to find a used one.
"After eating the donut, the trail goes cold, Mr. Zuckerberg. We just don't know!*
It's cute that you think I even have it installed.
Facebook tracks you even if you don't have an account.
It's cute that you think no one else has done these things unless you specifically told them about it.
Looks like pretty basic and easy shit to avoid. I can't speak for the advertisement part. I don't see ads.
