Simple, don't use any of their services.

Also get NoScript and set facebook.com et all as untrusted.

Yep.

I use a firewall and ReThink DNS on mobile devices to block it too.

I've never intentionally even gone to the FB website.

See, my aunt already told me how to do this back in March..... All you have to do is copy and paste this post and you're all good:

"According to the show 60 Minutes: Just in case you missed it: a lawyer advised us to post this. The violation of privacy can be punished by law NOTE: Facebook Meta is now a public entity. Every member must post a note like this. If you do not publish a statement at least once, it will be technically understood that you are allowing the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in your profile status updates. I HEREBY DECLARE THAT I DO NOT GIVE MY PERMISSION FOR FACEBOOK OR META TO USE ANY OF MY PERSONAL DATA."
