> Facebook uses all this data to show you ads for things you might want to buy. Wouldn't you rather see that than ads for things you don't want to buy?

No, I prefer poorly targeted ads. Seeing ads for stuff I might want to buy is more distracting, more tempting, and forces me to expend my limited supply of willpower to resist the temptation.

Targeted ads to me also means that company knows way more about me than I would prefer. Why is that a problem? It might not be. I'm not doing anything wrong. But I have curtains on my bathroom window for a reason. I'm not doing anything wrong in there but I also don't feel like anyone else needs to see it.
