Because you do not have a choice about being added to groups. The article talks about facebooks privacy settings but those are essentially fine. What's not is their completely fucked up group system.
You can only opt out of groups but everyone / allowed members can add you to it.
Even better, get added to a very active group and wake up to 700 notifications.
I could create a FB group called "Gay hackernews users" and add you to it (provided I have you in my friendlist) and it would be published to your friends. You could leave it afterwards, but first you'd join and it'd be published.
