Can you not adjust the privacy settings in your FB settings? Or block location data from being sent from your Android?

It's basically one of the facebook techniques in order to track you, so short answer is no

Use vpn. It tracks your ip and by that it gets more info. VPN should solve this.

Maybe TOR can help you with that ?

Why would you even use Facebook if you don't want your personal identity online?

This. It eould be more secure to rent a billboard and put all your personal information on there instead.
