You can hate it, but it's what the world of communication has come to, sorry to say...

If you are convinced of the "need" for social media, read the book The Accidental Billionaires and/or watch a video entitled "Terms and Conditions". Social media is big business and it does not exist to provide a service for you. You may also watch the 60 Minutes segments related to Data Brokers if you find the topic interesting. As Rick says, it is almost a requirement for business these days, but it is not a positive thing in many cases.

Really? lolbut it is not a positive thing in many cases.
FB should have an icon you can press to filter out any political posts.

No, it certainly isn't. If I were an advertiser, I would appreciate the system as a selected and direct line to the pocketbooks of potential customers. As a consumer, I mistrust this form of marketing having seen the lengths to which many corporations go to distort it. Marketing is a necessity as well as a social plague. There's no reason to think the latest version thereof would be any different.
And I REALLY hated the invitation to 'follow' Mark Zuckerberg.
