You may not do it but that's not stopping others. And you need not talk politics. They just need to know what you like, your interests, people you know, and other information to make their money. You are the product. Then they harvest that so they can target you better with ads. That's what russia did. And because facecrook is looking at their bottom line, they give your information to others and pretend they don't.

They are like too big to fail.
