I have successfully and completely moderated my facebook usage, in the same manner as I do with any site that doesn't respect my wishes.

I simply don't use it.

I didn't need any government "assistance".

You don’t need to have a Facebook profile to be impersonated on Facebook.

That's actually a good point.

Personally I would like them to regulate what kind of info the algorithms are allowed to use to profile people. No super-focused targeting.
