I believe that forcing such companies to respect privacy better is the right solution.

Deleting the Facebook owned applications from my phone would achieve close to nothing positive. I may convince a few family members and good friends to use another application only for me, but I will lose a lot of relations and Facebook wouldn't care. However I also did work in small research studies to expose to everyone the bad practices of some companies about privacy. It's not much but it helps when our governments make laws such as the GDPR.
