In the video she said that the website sends data about you to Facebook. This is incorrect. Facebook is the one doing the collecting or the purchasing of your data from 3rd party collectors.

I try to post this on every Facebook related post: Leave Facebook. You'll thank yourself a year from now.

Not true, you're able to advertise to specific groups of people by sending hashed email addresses in a "Customer List". I found this out when I discovered Rockstar Social Club targeted me for a GTA Online campaign.

If you leave facebook you can't access the "clear history" feature, so they can track you and keep that information forever.

Facebook is a morally bankrupt company and the only real fix is to black hole their many domains.
