However, I just found out about off-facebook activity, where Facebook was keeping a log of what I was doing on other apps, purchased i'd made, websites I'd visited - all kinds of stuff that I had no idea was being tracked.
You can find it on the app somewhere described as "off facebook activity" and see what they've logged about you, then "delete" it and stop them from logging more.
Quite how they manage to square all this with GDPR legislation, as I'm reasonably computer literate and I had no idea they were keeping this information about me - clearly any consent for it they have obtained had a fairly low bar for informed consent.
If the EU were so minded I think they could go after them on this.
