You’ve already given them permission when you agreed to the terms of service. You think Facebook operates for free?

They already do, by making FaceBook "free". In other words, the royalty they "pay" you balances out the cost of making FB available to you, resulting in a charge of zero.

The problem with paying for privacy, is that all the OTHER people who know you will post things which will give information about you.

They got your permission when you accepted the terms. And no royalties weren’t in the agreement you clicked Yes on without reading.

They provide the service for “free” by using your “monthly royalty” to pay for the service...

Your monthly royalty price is the total lack of privacy......

The service is free to use. Your data, as clarified in the terms of service, is what you pay to use it free.
Don’t want them using your data? Don’t give it to them.

How about if you don't like Facebook's privacy policies, then go find another sandbox to play in. No one is making you use Facebook, tweeter, or any other social media. If you are concerned about personal privacy, then don't use social media.
