You contradict your own argument. You recognize Facebook finds ways around it and previously used egregious bullshit, such bullshit that Apple tolerated for years. Yet somehow you believe Apple will protect you, again despite them failing to do so for years.
Avoiding widely used social apps is a great solution. Stop encouraging people to use such apps and believe in a false sense of security. Facebook on your phone at all is giving them far more data than alternatives such as a sandboxed desktop environment, or using a hardened browser. You are not protected by Apple from Facebook here. You just bought into the latest marketing scheme by Apple in their aggressive move to really start prioritizing Apple Ads as a huge moneymaker.
And I say all of this as a huge Apple fan, with multiple Apple devices in rotation. But this encouragement of using the likes of Facebook because "Apple keeps me safe" needs to stop immediately. It was never true and is harming people from seeking proper alternatives.
