Shadow Profiles: shouldn't they be disallowed/illegal?

The fact that I am not on facebook, means that I am not even covered by the privacy of their ToS.

Anyone who knows me, ends up exposing my information and privacy, which I have not consented to.

How does that make sense? The only way I can deal with this intrusion, is to open myself up further and get on Facebook?

I'm unsure how to parse the rights and restrictions here
