I've seen a lot of social media. If you have seen it. A few links are impressive
here's some more collaboration.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now for the part: Facebook not only tracks you when you visit a facebook page, it also tracks you by other means. One of those other means is called a tracking pixel.

There are some other web tricks, whereby they can check what content you've looked at, for how long, etc. Facebook is that main culprit, google is probably second, tho there are others in the shadows.
Europe got a good start with their privacy rules--GDPR: gdpr.eu/what-is-gdpr/ But in my opinion, that's only a start, and it needs to be developed a lot more.
So every other day or so, I purge my cookies. By that I mean that I go into the privacy setting on my main browser and delete almost all the cookies. There's an option there to "Remove All", but I keep about a half dozen so that on those sites I don't have to log in again.
People think china is weird, that everyone there is under constant surveillance, and yes, that is one kind of surveillance society.
The other kind of surveillance society is "surveillance capitalism": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surveillance_capitalism
Surveillance capitalism is an economic system centred around the commodification of personal data with the core purpose of profit-making. The concept of surveillance capitalism, as described by Shoshana Zuboff, arose as advertising companies, led by Google's AdWords, saw the possibilities of using personal data to target consumers more precisely.
Increased data collection may have various advantages for individuals and society such as self-optimization (Quantified Self),societal optimizations (such as by smart cities) and optimized services (including various web applications). However, collecting and processing data in the context of capitalism's core profit-making motive might present a danger to human liberty, autonomy and wellbeing. Capitalism has become focused on expanding the proportion of social life that is open to data collection and data processing. This may come with significant implications for vulnerability and control of society as well as for privacy.
Economic pressures of capitalism are driving the intensification of connection and monitoring online with spaces of social life becoming open to saturation by corporate actors, directed at the making of profit and/or the regulation of action. Therefore, personal data points increased in value after the possibilities of targeted advertising were known. Consequently, the increasing price of data has limited accessibility to the purchase of personal data points to the richest in society.
