content: These days I get the distinct impression that you're actually better off having a Facebook account that never gets used and has minimal info on it (so FB knows it's you), along with blocking all their third-party trackers elsewhere on the web (those fucking like buttons and stuff). Compare this to having no account, where Facebook attempts to track your every move anyway and builds up a shadow profile on you based on what other people you know are saying on there. Because I have an unused account along with blocking everything, it probably knows less about me than it knows about people with no account. Don't take this as the truth... it's just a thought of mine. But in any case, it's almost impossible to avoid the influence or the scrutiny of Facebook as an entity.
