I don't think all pages say that.

Facebook is designed to collect personal information, it even tracks you around the internet.

So that it can generate ads that you might be more likely to click on in order to gain revenue.

You are intelligent enough to know you can sign up using very little to no information about yourself and view things. You just want to be difficult.
I can live with doubt, and uncertainty, and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. [...] I don’t feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without having any purpose, which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell, possibly. It doesn’t frighten me. - Richard Feynman
