This is a free country and you're at will not to use face book,
Nobody is forcing anyone to use it.
There is enough information out there for people to be careful as to what they do on face book.

Non-users have a Facebook profile, too. Non-users are tracked, their device and browser "fingerprinted", de-anonymized and data pooled with other sources by Facebook, too.
Every webpage that shows a social media "Like" or "share" button notifies Facebook of your visit. Regardless of whether you're a user or not.
"Facebook pixel" is another tracker but invisible to a web visitor.
And if you have been a user but "deleted" your profile, only the official part of that profile has gotten deleted. The big rest they had collected on you, the advertising relevant part of your browsing habits, your financial status etc. stays on their servers and is continuously used and added to by Facebook and their business partners.
These are no conspiracy theories; Zucki admitted it in the hearings before Congress and Senate.
And it's against the new EU GDPR.
And it's going to violate the new e-privacy regulation of which 2 drafts are currently in discussion behind closed EU doors - bigly lobbied against by Facebook & Co., newspapers, and everyone who believes that surveillance, profiling and micro-targeting, i.e. manipulating people on the very individual level is the "new oil".
