ways to protect your privacy (and a bonus one)...
If you take your privacy seriously, there are still ways to
maintain it online. (An easy one is keep Facebook OFF of your smartphone.)
And hopefully sooner than later, your browser and all your
devices will come with these tools DEFAULT.
Tools
like Noiszy, for example -- a Chrome plugin that allows you to spit out a
chaotic jumble of data alongside your browsing habits, to confuse the
algorithms.
Until privacy is the default, and not surveillance, it’s up to
you to protect yourself.
2. Do not use Gmail (or the like),
PGP (control of own keys on latter.) 2FA, keyfiles, etc.
4. Always use VPN, even for everyday-surfing. Consider
VPN-chains (You->VPN->TOR->VPN)
Provider: www.zorrovpn.net
[We’ve also recommended cryptohippie VPN in the past, too. Still
good.]
6. Empty your clipboard automatically, often. Get a program to
do it for you. Search it up.
8. Always use FullDisk encryption. For PC = Truecrypt/Veracrypt.
OSX = SOL.
9. To protect yourself against Keyloggers, use keyscramblers.
For PC, download ”Keyscrambler.”
10. To protect yourself against eavesdropping (cam/mic),
download ”MicroSnitch” and/or ”OverSight.” Extra paranoid? Physically remove
cam/mic
11. Never use SMS
2FA, go for Google Authenticator. But if you insist, make sure to use a
different phone + number than your main phone/number. This is crucial.
Privacy is not found on the internet »
With Facebook coming under increasing scrutiny over its privacy breaches, now is a good time to remind that some of the world's most popular websites are tracking and recording your keystrokes, mouse movements, scrolling behaviors and the pages you visit. This puts your most sensitive information at risk. More »

For decades it has been an onslaught of government and corporate attacks on the little guy to see who can invade our privacy the most. In reality, it is a joint effort between two BAD players and I don't trust either one of them. Like you, I stopped using 'slavebook' awhile back...
After watching a news item about Zucker and Facebook it is highly evident most people don't care about their privacy, until their money is stolen. Typical stupid reaction is to worry after the fact yet give up all your info beforehand.
