TIL that Facebook is spying on us (more than we think)

in til •  8 years ago 


Okay, so everyone knows that facebook is not the best with privacy.
We've all read headlines about them using / abusing our private data, and that it's so hard to delete something entirely.

But today I've come across an even more terrifying fact - facebook is monitoring our online behavior when we're logged in!

Of course, many website track our cookies - that's why when you were shopping for a new pair of shoes, you'll suddenly see Ads for shoes pop up on different websites you visit.

But I wasn't aware that facebook is monitoring even more than that, and possibly even recording our online behavior.
That's crazy!
When will this spying and surveillance come to an end - or will it only get worse ?!
