- batch12 4y agoThis is the anti-piracy stance too. Information cannot be stolen like this, only duplicated. It isn't the same thing. I am not a Facebook user nor have I ever been. I have never agreed to allow Facebook to track me. I don't owe then my data just because a random blog decides to embed a tracker. Edit: clarification

- scifibestfi 4y agoBy that standard HN spreads misinformation. Every social network.
