Pretty sure it does not do that.
- kposehn 15y agoI'm still baffled as to how people have decided it does that. ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
- Vivtek 15y agoWell, in my case, besides distracted reading, it's that Facebook has done crap like this before (I mean, various privacy surprises) and I suppose I'm just primed to assume the worst now.
- Vivtek 15y agoThat's what I understand from the press I'm seeing: if the site has a Like button on it, I no longer have to actually click that to "share" it with my friends - it's just automatically posted to my timeline. Either way, Facebook is a soul-deadening waste of time except for a couple of people I don't see any other way. I should probably just write a tool to ensure I'm always logged out when not using it. And delete its cookie, I suppose. Update: Ah, apparently this is just an app that has this behavior, not basic Facebook functionality - that's what I get for just scanning Winer's article and not checking the article he was talking about. My point about the soul-deadening waste of time stands, though.

- mlinsey 15y agoNot quite. More like, instead of pressing the 'like' button on each story you want to share, there will be a "share what I read on FB" button which acts like a switch-it doesn't start sharing until you opt-in, but then it shares everything automatically until you turn it off.
