People want Facebook to stop following people, especially those signed out or without an account to begin with, around the internet in a creepy way. How hard can it be really? Is it too much to ask that some company I don't have business with doesn't spy on my web surfing habits?
The announcement also reads to me as if the "clearing" doesn't even do what people may expect it to do:
> Once we roll out this update, you'll be able to see information about the apps and websites you've interacted with, and you'll be able to clear this information from your account.
This sounds to me as if they still keep the information and just don't associate it with your account anymore.

FB and other trackers are tools, which all the media happily use, bashing FB at the same time. Wouldn't it be too much to ask THEM to stop spying on us? Just checked: theverge - 10 trackers, arstechnica - 9, wapo - 14 (including fb!), huffpost - 11 (including fb). It's not fixable by fixing Facebook.
