Then you can simply opt out of FB ads controls. And enjoy the irrelevant ads.

They get my sweet, sweet data though...right?

Well they are only using your data now for ranking your organic news feed and other operational purposes (such as catching fraud which, I hope, you will believe is a big problem on social networks).

Unless now you are like I don't even want FB to rank the news feed and show me posts from fraudulent accounts..

1. I am not on FB. I think i made it clear that I do not support their company or product.

2. I do NOT want FB to rank the newsfeed. It should be deleted or ranked by time. The more parts of a social media product handed over to a ranking or search or algorithmic feed, the more chance they have for anti-user patterns: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/may/08/social-me...

3. How would a fraudulent account show up on a feed? I'm actually curious. Do they need to be friended first?
