Facebook Tracking EVERY Site You Visit!

because our lives are so interesting right? Anyone looking at my life, spying on me etc. would be bored after a few hours.

 

I suppose you can change everything on yoiur account TO BOGUS INFO.. (Change the name,etc) then click the totally delete link AND HOPE THEY DONT HAVE YOUR ORIGINAL DATA YOU ENTERED SAVED!!

Its better pointing to 0 instead of 127.0.0.1 .. FASTER 404 RESPONSES..... (0 ************ for example)

 

This Internet advertising model is one big myth.
The money is in personal information and behavioural analysis.
Everything you do is tracked and logged so a "profil" of who and
what you are can be worked up.

They claim it is for advertising purposes as a way of hidding who their
real clients are. In he case of facebook more than 60% of their clients can
be traced back to goverment, law enforcement or private security agencies.
After that the next batch of clients are banks. Accounting for around 35%
Anything that is left is actual advertising related as you and I would define
it.

The only site ever to have somewhat made it work was the piratebay.
But in their situation they help facilitate piracy so any money they made
from advertising was more or less straight profit. On a side note of interest
the Piratebay has neo-nazi connections. Their start up money came from
a man called Lundström a very vocal politically motivated neo-nazi.

Facebook backs up its data 3 times every single day.
And since Octobre 2008 they have not deleted any of their back ups.

Go to one of their programmer analyst recrutement seminars.
They openly admit to everything they do.

I guess I am old fashion

 

No problem my friend

I just cant believe all the ppl on here WHO DONT SEE HOW BAD THIS SITE TRULY IS!!

 

for firefox users: there is an extension named priv3 ( http://priv3.icsi.berkeley.edu/ ) claiming to be able to selectively block 3rd party cookies, namely those sown around by the most prominent social networks. . this allows you to make the like buttons active only when you click them.
then there is the duckduckgo search engine ( https://duckduckgo.com/ ) : spite of the rather ludicrous name, it pledges to forget your search history and never reveal it to anyone, also avoiding such practices as bubbling and tracking. a nice move is adding the search string https://duckduckgo.com/?q= to the firefox config as explained here: http://www.groovypost.com/howto/change-firefox-4-address-bar-search-engine-provider/
. this way, the next time you type non-URL stuff in the address bar , those terms will be submitted to your web search engine of choice instead of the default one.
another great extension for firefox is noscript .

 

you can always use a separate browser for facebook

 

sure thing but most users don't want to take the hassle, it is annoying and its only matter of time until you forget your own rule. it's an effective yet crude workaround , i'd recommend that only for people checking their fb status twice in a week or so.

 

The worst part is no matter how much I warn my friends about posting questionable things on FaceBook, they won't close their accounts! They think i am old-fashioned and prusish for closing mine. Well I think they are a tad too trustworthy in a corporation that "mysteriously" is worth billions yet have barely any ads. Hmm... I wonder who could be putting money in FaceBook's pocket? Who might want to see everyone's inner-most thoughts broadcasted to the world? Not tough.

 

Well they have already stated that their user database would be sold, so they are making money off of selling everybody's information...... I doubt they care who is buying it either, just as long as they have money.

 

old new but thanks for the post. I already knot this when i first saw facebook.
p.s: here is an useful article: Facebook Denies Cookie Tracing
