Well it surely can't identify me. So now Facebook wants advertisers to try to sell kids pharmaceuticals or therapy? What good would that do?
Facebook seems to know I have ADHD and suggested a few "fidget toys". I actually like those ads. I could see targeted ads for things like full-spectrum lights (used for people with seasonal affective disorder) or Headspace (app for meditation) being a good thing.
Why don't we have a subscription based, non-tracking, ad-free social network yet??

Yes it is. My feeling is that we have entered an age that youth is not naive anymore and would happily pay $3/month (at least in the US) for a non-tracking all-round communication service.
I'm pretty skeptical of this claim. The barrier from $0.00 to $0.01 is huge , and it's even moreso with people young enough to not have credit cards. It's not that "oh, if it'd succeed someone would have done it by now," but the attempts I've seen at this make me think that it'd be very difficult to even try.
We have yet to learne to pay for nice things on the internet.

I really hate both marketing people and advertising people (present company excluded of course),

it can't arbitrate news, do we really want it trying to arbitrate diagnoses?

Is that a serious question? Social networks are dependent on network effects. Having a subscription immediately increases the barrier to entry too high for people to be able to get their friends on the same platform.
