More on advertising and Facebook
"The moment I decided I had to leave Facebook was when I discovered that its latest advertising gimmick sent information about members' purchases on other sites to Facebook even when they were not logged on there. It was bad enough that this information be sent at all to the company. I don't see it is any of Facebook's business what I do elsewhere on the web. But that the company should be sent the information when I am not even logged in is intolerable". Andrew Brown from the Guardian continues here.
