Mostly... I see "facepalm" as "someone has done something stuipd", that is, it's clear that many people could have done a better job. In this case the job is to write an algorithm that selects ads/recommends pages/something based on whatever information Facebook can glean from you. Given that you're deliberately trying to avoid giving Facebook information that lets them get a close fix on you and your tastes, it's hard to imagine that anyone could construct an algorithm that would provide good selections/recommendations. Or in short, yes the job is done badly; no, I can't imagine doing a better job myself. It's absurd on the face of it only if you have no awareness of the underlying dynamic of what is going on.
