Facebook has been selling your data to ad companies since the day you created your account. This only changes what you visually see on the website. It makes absolutely zero difference from a data collection standpoint. Just consent so you can delete your accounts with less hassle.

They are already doing that bro.
Look, if your data is with facebook to begin with, it’s over. Everyone knows it. They are doing whatever they want. You agreed to it just by using their services. They are just giving you an option on what you wanna see.

yeah learning about data brokering and collection is pretty depressing…
The best course of action is to not give data in the first place and trust no one, always protect yourself first and foremost. As much as you can anyway.
