They are tracking and logging your every move.
Personally I don't give FB the time of day. It is wholly invasive and unnecessary and the entire system is little more than a home security control mechanism to map what everyone is saying and doing for future reference.
There seems to be a huge effort to grab as much information as possible from as many people as possible. My big hobby is genealogy but I refuse to put that on a subscription website because I don't see an easy delete button! As for the book of Face.........I starting using that because I joined a group which gives updates on FB and now I'm a regular user. I really enjoy it on a purely social basis, the occasional (polite) spar on politics, EU stuff in particular and because I've started my own FB group which is restricted to a very few local friends. Much, much easier to arrange social events - beats using the phone to each individual and I've learned to tie-up the security so it is impregnable. So a frequently used social media site for me!
