Golly is Facebook extremely boring, dull, and utterly a user experience nightmare... I miss all my friend's birthdays frequently because the experience is so undesirable and unenjoyable on it.
Twitter is also fast becoming my least favorite thing to use as well because of a habitually botched user experience.

the point isn't the one individual service or actor, these behaviors are incentivized and enabled systematically and will repeat
I have remembered a fake birth date, fake home address, and other details that I use for all these sites, unless they're related to commerce or legally justified purposes. We do not need to provide accurate info to private companies that mis-use our data (provided it is not required for our own reputational purposes).
