Perhaps there's hope for PS4 after all, as Sony mysteriously announced the removal of Facebook integration on PlayStation 4 effective today... good riddance to the ad, drama and big brother activity monitoring infested social media application and here's to hoping other platforms follow suit. 
This is the official confirmation directly from PlayStation Support, to quote:
Starting on October 7th, 2019 Facebook integration will no longer be supported on the PS4 system. This includes Facebook’s share features such as posting gameplay and trophy activity and using the friend finder feature. We apologize for any inconvenience.
What this means for you:
PlayStation 4’s share features will remain the same, except Facebook will no longer be offered as a destination to share screenshots, videos, music, trophy details, or links to gameplay broadcasts.
