Ok sure, but thats secondary info.

All that they can get for sure is that you know someone.

That's way more limited compared to all of your thoughts likes dislikes beliefs location family members pets, etc that people share when logged in.

My point is that we complain about Facebook stealing our data but then log in to Facebook and freely give it to them.

Instead of waiting for the govt or some big regulatory entity to slap Facebook we can do it ourselves and just delete Facebook.

Why do you think people don't just do that?

Because FB provides them with (what they perceive to be) value.

I deleted FB, Insta and Twitter, and lost nothing. My life got better.

SAME. Those sites provided me with negative value.
