How would Facebook know who likes porn (except assuming everybody likes porn, obviously)? Those who say so on their Facebook profile are presumably not very concerned about that information leaking out?
- bilbo0s 14y agoWell... Most are logged into FB when they browse their porn, so FB definitely knows what porn and how often the user browses it. Whether or not that info would end up in the graph, I don't know. I don't THINK it would? Not sure. In any case, FB definitely HAS the information. Just a matter of whether they would let anyone else have it. I could see it being a valuable "background check" type service. Actually, now that I think about it... FB tracks your browsing whether you are logged in or not. So they would probably have A LOT of information on people who like porn.
- johnnymonster 14y agoI would really love for you to prove that FB or any other website for that matter can sniff the site traffic of any other window or tab that you have open, when you are logged into facebook on another window/tab. Cookies and history are locked by domain, plain and simple. Unless you have a conspiracy that FB is planting spyware on peoples computers.
- Tichy 14y agoAlmost every web site has a Facebook button. That's how they do it. There is also the possibility of web site owners cooperating on the server side to track users. Maybe not as common yet, but not inconceivable.
- businessleads 14y agoFacebook has said clearly that the only information that will be searchable is that which is entered into Facebook and it will be displayed in accordance with whatever the original privacy setting was. The people who shows up for "pr0n" wrote it as one of their interests on their profile and set that to public "friends" or "friends or friends".
- ry0ohki 14y agoThe example in the article was people who liked the Facebook page "Porn films". Presumably there are people who liked specific actresses, etc... so yes it's still people who are not concerned enough with this being part of their Facebook profile.
- johnnymonster 14y agoThey really only know if you like porn if you like a page that has the word porn in it. The statement in this post is a little broad.
