This is where laws and regulation can come in, and its not just about Facebook, data about you is being collected and sold without your consent. What kind of person you are (to advertisers) is not being decided by you but by the data collectors and you have no control over it.
I don't think they would lose too many people, Facebook does connect families and friends in a way that provides real value to people. The people who quit Facebook this week will probably be back on Facebook in no less than 2 months and I think everyone would be more comfortable using Facebook if they can control how their personal data is collected and sold.
