An easier solution is to simply treat Facebook as 100% public. Don't post anything you don't want representing you. Then who cares if Facebook sells all of it's data to the highest bidder?

I feel like I JUST finished updating my privacy settings, only to have to do it again. I don't even use Facebook that much, and it's annoying to have to think about/waste time figuring out about my privacy settings when I don't really care to - especially now that these settings are encroaching on the rest of my Internet experience.

Getting rid of my Facebook account is feeling like the simpler solution, but I'm not even sure that solves the problem anymore.

Even easier, if you run the firefox plugin noscript, instant personalization is disabled for you automatically.

Or just disable your profile and move on. Think of all the extra time you have in your life now...
