This comment comes up all in sorts of discussions and I don't quite get it. I follow a huge amounts of pages/people on Facebook to stay up to date on industries. The fact that I "like" Humans of New York, the Wynn Las Vegas, or Taylor Swift doesn't mean I actually like them in real life. I've just opted in to receive notifications when they post stuff. For all I care Facebook could have an incredibly detailed profile that I engage with Wynn's page 50x per year somehow, and that I'm in love with Taylor Swift because I clicked Like on one of her posts. I really don't care. I get ads that are somewhat close to what I'd be interested in and I'm OK with that.
I'm using Facebook as my primary listening tool to follow things/people.
Your solution is for me to use a browser or an aggregation tool of some sort. Facebook already does that very well, and has apps for all major platforms.
If at some point there's a better tool, I'll use it, and I'll stop using Facebook. But there's not. If that happens, and Facebook hoards a database entry of my lists of likes and communication, that's cool.
