Facebook tracks you, even after you log out.
So there’s been a lot of furore over Facebook’s Beacon technology and your privacy going to the dogs. (Of course, there are those who think the current generation of online users/kids don’t really care about their privacy but I digress…)
To enhance the reputation of Facebook as nothing more than lying bastards whose revenue model revolves around peddling your information to the highest bidders, we now find out that their ad service is much more intrusive than they had previously acknowledged.
I am just wondering if anyone will care about all of this when people eventually realise they have a life to lead, find it hard to keep up with their Facebook account and drop off completely (and maybe move on to something else).
