Not quite true, all the like buttons and other FB integration code for websites and apps still collect your data

Facebook absolutely tracks non users and builds profiles in them. Those like and retweet buttons on websites are doing just that. Even if you don't click them! It isn't the same as a completely optional loyalty card.
However, I do agree its mainly fuax outrage that will pass shortly. The stock is already recovering

Wow. You're so clueless you don't even realize how clueless you are.
You have the option of using Facebook or not. If you don't have a Facebook account, they don't have your data.
If you don't have a Walgreens loyalty card, they don't have your data.
People are faux outraged. They're not really outraged at all.
Check this comment in two months and tell me how "outraged" people are at Facebook for selling their data.
It would depend on what kind of "democracy" you're referring to. In a representative democracy where all elected officials are worried about is getting re-elected, then yes, that's exactly how democracy works.
