No, you can't opt out of being tracked by Facebook. By not using it, you stop seeing what Facebook knows about you, but they keep collecting the information through "like" buttons all over the web and through posts and pictures from your friends. Opting out of the Internet is still not enough to avoid the latter
- jlarocco 11y agoActually you can even opt-out of that with tools like AdBlock. I'm not saying it's a great solution, but it's a solution, and it's more options than exist for opting out of government surveillance.
- beagle3 11y agoFrom the "like" button tracking, yes. From other people posting your pictures and whereabouts? You have to quit civilization.
- jlarocco 11y agoWell you'll have that problem with Facebook or the government, so there's really no difference there. Doesn't change the fact that it's easier and legal to opt out of Facebook.
