This is a business model problem for FB, not really a privacy problem.
People will continue to give away their information. People want attention. There is a web standard being developed called ActivityPub that attempts to decentralize Twitter/Facebook style sharing.

Do you see ActivityPub having a real impact on Twitter/Facebook's bottom line?
Not immediately, or in the near future. However it is a tough Catch 22 for them regardless.
If they add support for ActivityPub, then the whole business is now commoditized. Why would a monopoly choose to become a commodity?
If they don't add support for ActivityPub, then all the networks supporting it become a "federation" to compete with Social monopolies.
Big Networks will choose to be "left out" of any new network technologies, and it will be their downfall. Slowly.
