It came up yesterday. A question was asked wether or not Zuckerberg thought user understood that Facebook had the ability to track every website they visit when Facebook social media icons appear on those pages.
- glup 9y agoThat's what I was referring to regarding the exchange with Gardner: it was talking about users and implied that Facebook had to be open at the same time. >> Senator Gardner: if you're logged in to Facebook with a separate browser and you log in to another — log in to another article, open a new tab in the browser while you have the Facebook tab open, and that new tab has a Facebook button on it, you track the article that your reading. So it wasn't emphasizing that this tracking is ubiquitous and could be used to construct quire information-rich shadow profiles. I still don't think the senators are aware of this.
