Informed consent seems like a reasonable place to start.

Yes, you were informed when you signed up. Your failure to read TOS, but agree to them anyway, is nobody’s fault but your own. This whole culture of “well yeah, I did it, but obviously that doesn’t mean I am responsible for it” is ludicrous to me. We are all responsible for our own choices in life.

Where is the consent of users that are being tracked outside of Facebook and are not part of it?
I don't understand why nobody is talking about the even bigger issue that Facebook (and Google and every other ad service) gets to see what people are visiting and when (articles, videos, porn, ...)!
Imagine the detailed profiles you can create with that amount of data...
If you consider something so “private” that you would be upset that an algorithm on a secure serve might use it to target an ad to you - after you read and agreed to exactly that behavior when signing up - perhaps you shouldn’t have given it to them in the first place. At what point do you take personal responsibility for giving away this information you consider to be so private and valuable?
