You forget that you don't need to have a Facebook account for Facebook to create a profile for you. You just have to exist.

The same is true for many other social networks.

So while you're posting about being all smug and happy that you never signed up for one of these services, your personal data is still in their servers, ready to be exploited by both the company and hackers.
