I’m completely at a lack of words as why people think giving their data to someone means it’s safe or won’t be used for harm.
Anything I post on social media, I assume the worst.
I’m unsure how anyone else can assume any different.

I’m right there with you that I assume everything I say on these platforms could be made public, but you and I are more informed on data security issues. For many people, they just want to share photos and chat with friends. The deep privacy implications are beyond most people.
The vast majority of FB users are tech illiterate. They have no idea about the capabilities of algorithms and how they can be turned into automated weapons which can target entire populations with psychological warfare.
So I think it's a problem of them not understanding how their data can be so easily and effectively weaponized against them and everyone they know.
