"full opt-out" in the title is very misleading. They are disabling the mini-feed and newsfeed stories only! FB still gets the info on your browsing/buying habit

"full opt-out" in the title is very misleading. They are disabling the mini-feed and newsfeed stories only! FB still gets the info on your browsing/buying habits by default, unless you would click the link to not share the info with facebook every time you make a purchase.
- brlewis 19y agoFrom the article: "If you select that you don't want to share some Beacon actions or if you turn off Beacon, then Facebook won't store those actions even when partners send them to Facebook."
- karthikv 19y agoIt says it won't "store" those actions sent by the partners. Its not clear if they will "use" that information in any other way.
- dcurtis 19y agoIf you're so paranoid, why do you shop at places that would willfully send your information to a site like Facebook? Don't the partner sites have to reach out and send the information to Facebook, rather the the other way around?
