Chances are good that you have a dozen other apps logging your location as invasive as Facebook is, and those ones participate in the same data exchanges that Facebook does.

There's a strong network of trackers both in the digital space and now the meat space, so the cards are pretty much stacked against you.

When my Nexus 4 eventually dies I'm going to replace it with a dumb phone.

I realised the other day that I use it for the internet about once a week since I'm either at home, work or out doing something where a phone isn't an option (cycling, swimming etc).

>Outside of that, found a social movement that shuns this sort of thing. At the end of the day we are apes that have been herded into these systems without any choice. The only thing to do about it is organize yourself into a group and fight for the reality that you want by shutting out mass society which is out to know everything about you to sell you stuff.

The same could be criticism for most social contracts, and there are groups like the Mennonites who live happy lives with levels of technology they deem fit.

Edit: Why did you edit your comment?

Felt it was too out there.

Facebook still delivers ads on their platform sites, and links your browser (not just cookies) to your identity. FWIW, Google isn't that much different
