Don't want to sound paranoid but you not creating friend networks on facebook doesn't stop facebook tracking everything you do through it and its associated apps (instagram, whatsapp etc etc) and building a profile which it then sells to advertisers etc.
Accepting we are all adults and believe we can think for ourselves when bombarded with adverts, Cambridge Analytica and the growing use of such info to influence our lives suggests we have no idea just what they are up to.
I don't loose sleep over it but then I don't do Facebook. The downside is that facebook still has a profile on me. They have shadow profiles for non-facebook users which they build through me visiting sites which support facebook advertising. I am registered as having visited that page through to facebook, which is added to my shadow profile.
Paranoid, moi. It's a new world.
