Facebook is Watching You
- jseliger 15y agoWhich is why: 1) I use Ghostery: http://www.ghostery.com/ http://www.ghostery.com/, thanks to someone who pointed it on HN. Much appreciated! Now FaceBook's webbugs are largely blocked. 2) I log out when I leave FB. 3) I delete FB cookies regularly. BTW, I looked for an e-mail link or "comment" feature for the author, Jeff Escalante, and couldn't find one. Instead I'd have to find him on Twitter, I guess. So much for (relative) privacy.
- CoughlinJ 15y agoThanks for the link, this is great!
- raju 15y agoAlternatively, I use the "Incognito" mode in Chrome (FF has the private browsing mode, but unfortunately there, you can either be in that mode, or the regular one, but not both). I am still to figure out if this helps me in anyway, but it's a start ... :-/
- theprodigy 15y agoThe stuff you mentioned is common knowledge. Once Facebook finds a way to make use of all that unstructured data that each user creates their targeting will get so much better.
