The issue isn't that I'm tracked when I visit Facebook - that's normal. The issue is that I am (at least potentially) tracked when I don't visit Facebook due to your ubiquitous Like button.
That's the privacy-endangering activity that has resulted from your sheer size. Please don't pretend it doesn't exist.
- MartinCron 15y agoThe issue is that I am (at least potentially) tracked when I don't visit Facebook due to your ubiquitous Like button. That's no different from being tracked by Google(DoubleClick). If you don't approve, it's really a matter between you and the web sites you visit.

- MartinCron 15y agoI was looking at it is a technical issue, not a tribal identification game. Any third-party that embeds stuff on any of the web sites that you visit has a capability of tracking you in some capacity. That's a simple fact that sometimes gets lost when people are discussing Facebook. Lots of third-parties do this sort of thing and most of the time, nobody notices or cares. It feels odd to hold Facebook to a different standard.
