Facebook Tracking EVERY Site You Visit!

LMAO that hilarious

 

Yes im glad you listenend to the poll results Skip and DID NOT ADD THAT FB CRAP HERE BUDDY!!

Anyone on FB doesnt value thier privacy,THEY DONT CARE and its completly disgusting and sad.......

 

I don't have a facebook account. have plenty of invites just never bothered

 

Very true, but I don't think that thought occurs to too many people.

 

I really hate reading this. However, I'm not surprised. I do want to know...who would fb sell the info to? Is fb the gov't? That way they could use the info for their own nefarious doings...

And as I type this I know I'm going to hate the answers to those questions too, huh.

 

It was just a matter of time that I got rid of facebook.. I knew the privacy was... well, non existant. So I just deactivated my account as of 30 seconds ago! Are all the cookies and shit still on my computer? I want to get rid of everything facebook related.. how?

 

LEARN HOW TO:

Go into you own computer and find where the cookies are stored. Throw them out.

And then NEVER GO TO FACE BOOK, again.

 

I don't even know how the government can find people to hire for their jobs that require security screening of they are looking at potential applicant's Facebooks AND web-site visiting. I mean, seriously, is there anyone out there who hasn't visited an "objectionable" site of any sort (this one would probably be among them) or posted something "objectionable" on Facebook?! I can't think of anyone!

 

No surprise really, but to be honest a lot of browsing comes with tracking cookies. Hell, I feel better clicking on face book than the daily mail!

 

No surprise @ all Skip!!!

I have shared this on some other sites im on.......


EDIT:

One site i posted this on DELETED MY REPLY,stupid losers........

I guess they dont care what FB is doing and dont want others to know!

 

The trouble with Big Brother theories is that government is too bureacratic to ever monitor anything effeciently, any they only will really give a fuck if you piss someone high up off.

Facebook only does it for advertising revenue, most peoples web habits arent terribly interesting

 

I cant veen disable my cookies without loosin acces to my email account. The internet is F ed up.

 

Facebook is something bad. It's not what the internet is supposed to be about. I do believe the information it gathers is compromised in some way - they won't deny that it goes into undisclosed hands in their user agreement.

I also think the entire facebook platform can be manipulated and hacked easier than we're led to believe. The kid who made the damn thing started by hacking into Harvard's private student database and publishing the information against their will... Sounds like it's in great hands.

It also has a whole bunch of strange investors. They will not let it go onto the public markets. Facebook's structure and algorithms are not released to the public, even protected under a patent.

Facebook can and probably will be used against the people at some point. The true owners of the internet's actual bandwidth will not allow such things to be used to create another Tahrir square. They will use it to monitor the public at large, with personality traits searched for and targeted under specific screening algorithms.

 

not having facebook kicks ass u guys i was doing that way before it was cool haha

 

I'm a bit dubious of believing anything with a daily mail link, but... it still wouldn't surprise me if fb were tracking our activity to some extent.

Everyone is doing it some way or another, targeted advertising for example, which also involves placing cookies on the computer to track browsing activity.

At the end if the day, by signing up to a free site you are already selling your soul anyway, and like any other business Facebook had to make its money somehow. They most likely do this by aggregating information about users and then selling it.

If it concerns you, only ever sign into Facebook using an inprivate IE window - or whatever equivalent in the browser you use. It will stop a cookie being placed on your hard drive which then should stop this shenanigans

 

I am a big proponant of publicness. Yes, my bank accounts are public. I make them so. As are my medical records through the human genome project and my blogs.

I don't have this paranoia of publicness. Many of these arguments were the same arguments floating around when the Gutenberg press was invented. Not to mention radio, and then TV.

I should add that being public, sharing my medical records on various blogs and websites literally saved my life. The collective communities I have built around my health issues picked up something that all of my doctors and specialists were missing that would have killed me.

May I suggest reading 'Public Parts: How Sharing in the Digital Age Improves the Way We Work and Live' by Jeff Jarvis. He explains this viewpoint so much better than I possibly could.
