It sounds like Facebook is trying to get you to tell it where you
are because it can't get the information via location services
because you've turned them off.
The best way to stop it is not to Facebook (or any of Meta's other
means of monetizing the user).
I use Facebook for two purposes:
1. To find old, lost contacts. It still works for that.
2. To read some news and comments from an old friend, who makes posts
most days and also send out some very good cartoons.
So my use is minimal, but I do not intend to stop using it. I have
never paid meta anything.

I had to Join one of Facebook's Groups to ask a question, so I did,
and asked what I wrote in the OP (above).
There were 2 'Likes', and then a moderator stopped any more comments
being added! Maybe I have stumbled on something that Facebook doesn't
want the people to know about.
Curiouser and curiouser.
One message posted before the shutdown was from somebody who asked me to Private Message him to get it sorted out. Sounds dangerous.

Hello, I'm from Facebook and I can sort this out for you. I just
