Apparently my website is complicit in this... I'm disgusted with and ashamed of myself. https://i.imgur.com/Wz7O8HU.png https://i.imgur.com/Wz7O8HU.png Edit:

Edit: typo complacenet to complicit, thanks Zarel.
- Zarel 7y ago(I think you wanted to use "complicit") Please update us as to how this happened!
- milankragujevic 7y agoI think I have a pixel on there for some reason? I don't recall why I put it there. It really does hurt when you see how awful your own behaviour is, i.e. by spying on users. I'm sorry everyone!
- Jupe 7y agoYou mean you didn't know this would happen by adding something (script, tracker, pixel, etc.) to your site, or you don't have a root cause as to why your own site is sending data to FB?
- milankragujevic 7y agoI didn't assume that Facebook would explicitly connect this information with the visitors in this way. I don't remember WHY I added the pixel but I did add it. I need to get rid of these things, and Disqus. I was probably trying to do some research on visitor demographics, which presumably failed.
- Jupe 7y agoGotcha. Thanks for clarifying. I'm working on a site rn, and hope to make it "ad-ethical" (if such a thing is possible any more).
- KajMagnus 7y ago> I need to get rid of these things, and Disqus There're open source track free comments: https://www.discourse.org/ https://www.discourse.org/ https://commento.io/ https://commento.io/ https://www.talkyard.io/blog-comments https://www.talkyard.io/blog-comments All of them are equally ads and tracking free, and have optional paid hosting services (if you don't want to self host). I'm developing the last one, Talkyard.
