I haven't. I guess my data is of no interest to anyone. :-)

Current estimates are that 87 million users of Facebook have
had their data compromised.

I didn’t get that one but I did get a notification that someone I knew who
played a game on FB had inadvertently allowed that game to gather info on
other users, such as their names and locations, and that the app
underpinning the game had been removed about a year ago. Whew!

The games and quizzes are all collecting data and luring you with ads
and click bait.

Exactly. In fact, many of them are using the 'game' to develop psychological profiles of the
players.
