>No one forced facebook on anyone. We signed up ourselves. Still baffles me how that worked out.
If you own an Android phone (not sure about apple phones), the Facebook core that does the data scraping and delivers metrics to them is pre-installed on the phone and cannot be removed without jail-breaking or "rooting" it, which violates your service agreement with most providers and may lock you out of using many forms of online commerce on the device. This "Facebook core" is active even if you have never installed or run the actual Facebook app–including the part that can turn on your microphone and directly spy on you whenever it wants.
Tell me again how no one forced facebook on anyone?
