It has reached the point where anything you put on it IS COMPROMISED - not a question of if or when but IT IS AND THAT'S THAT so only control mechanism is (a) delete account or (b) monitor and scrub any personal data you have on it.  This includes the idiotic posts people make when they are ON VACATION and leave their home empty.  If I were a thief, that is a grand source of data for robbery.  Family members and children also suspect.  Events in life - ALL of this IS compromised and don't complain about it.  Either scrub or delete account, it's that simple. 

Update; i deleted all group memberships save one so that social interests cannot be monitored and passwords guessed from terms within.  I had about 30 groups!!   Wiped them all out save one.
