It doesn't work that way.  First of all, even if you don't use it, people
are putting your personal information up on it when they are talking to
their friends about you.

Secondly, if you are running a business, you may need to have a facebook
presence for advertising just because that is the first place that many
people look for some services.  You can avoid using it but not without
losing a lot of customers.
