Facebook tracks users across websites. This is of course still happening. I thought this is common knowledge. This is happening because both Facebook and other websites benefit from this kind of tracking.
- legitster 6y agoThe suit only covers between 2010 and 2011. So unless their tracking opt-in dramatically changed, I believe the issue of the lawsuit was the lack of consumer privacy options in this period.
- duxup 6y agoPossibly there is some EULA language or option to opt out now and the folks suing would rather sidestep that whole question for now.
- nerdponx 6y agoI believe a researcher discovered the malicious "like button" behavior in 2011, and Facebook claimed to have disabled the behavior in that year.
- musicale 6y agoIsn't the behavior in question simply loading the like button image from Facebook's (or Twitter's, or Pinterest's, or ...) servers, where it is logged and matched to your profile by IP address?
