It's simple, don't use toxic Facebook or setup the account.
It's totally sad how Nook, Kobo, Kindle support stupid connections, but not even one outgoing email account, or a user defined URL. Some other ebooks with NOTHING, no export.
BBC also I think is in breach of Charter using Twitter and Facebook. They have no shortage of their own sites, though closed their HHGTTG wiki like site.

The Facebook setting annoyed me, but I just ignore it. At least with Calibre the Kobo offers the best support of all eReaders to export per book comments/annotations, highlights etc with full highlight, title, chapter and % in chapter. Some ereaders and apps have no export support AT ALL! The Kindle DXG is pathetic with single myclippings.txt

I tried setting up the Nook "sharing" by registering a 2nd Nook account and "friending it". Doesn't enable eMail, unless I'm doing it wrong. I think it only works with a 2nd Nook. That's stupid.

There are also DRM/Copyright concerns as to why some apps & ereaders are so pathetic at "sharing" stuff. These should not apply if text is DRM free. Libraries, colleges and schools etc police their own copiers.
No-one polices industrial scanners and home copiers. The DRM and anti-piracy stuff is a total fail anyway. Industrial pirates usually get an ARC (paper or electronic). If paper, they crop off binding and load an industrial scanner for document archive. Google helps by encouraging PDF for their Google Books/Playstore books, which are full of pirated texts. Google also "pirates" themselves anything THEY deem as orphaned, as well has their dubious mainline book archive scheme (not fit people to be allowed as they are an Advertising company exploiting the contents to improve their search).
