Yeah, they'll find a way to get your information, somehow. There's no way around this. But one might as well minimise one's exposure to pointless exercises in solipsistic navel-gazing like Facebook anyway. I'd say getting rid of LinkedIn would also be useful, although I do find LinkedIn to be at least moderately helpful in terms of keeping track of people I know via professional networks.

The privacy issues have long been a nagging worry as I am not keen on having Facebook (or Google, etc) know that much about me, but when it comes to government surveillance, I fear that FB is but one rat to the pack. Still, the fact that there's one less online source of data about me IS a nice perk.
