M Zuckz tracks what pages you're going on even AFTER you log out of facebook. It's alright though.. he replied to this with "Trust Us".

Yeah.. Trust Me, I'm a Salesman?

To add to this.. G+ traffic rockets to 1200% yes. 1200%.


This really isn't much of a surprise though. Facebook isn't the only site that uses cookies for post-tracking information.

And people think Google is better? One word: AdSense.

Google has much more respect for user privacy than facebook does, along with rights to photo's and other information. Check Facebook and Google's ToS sometime. They're quite different other than the standard ToS structure.

Adsense has never bothered me.

I've got to agree with Aidan here. Facebook completely disregards your privacy and keeps popping up in the news because of it.

do yourself a favor

I'm actually considering doing that favour. I'm disagreeing with a lot of facebook's terms, and shit consistent updates that I have to adjust to all the time, that usually leave quite a few bugs behind.

I want the G+ revolution :(

Yeah, but it's kind of unnerving that Google tracks what you search for, the videos you watch on YouTube, the many AdSense enabled pages you view, and they possibly have a picture of your house on street view and your router SSID. If you use GMail then that's another thing.

I like Google but all that information in the hands of one corporation seems scary. In America, even local law enforcement can subpoena all that information from Google.

What you have to hide from Google or Facebook? Do you buy illegal weapons or drugs from internet? What's the problem if in one server, somewhere in california, there is wrote "Bob visited youtube.com"?

The data grabbed by G and F are for advertisment\study purpose, I don't think they give a fuck if you visited youporn.

For facebook it's pretty much all your information in the hands of a hundred companies you never even heard of.

Google at least blatantly tells you they store info and that you get advertisements based on what you're reading. Facebook just keeps lying about what they do with your data. Just one step further would be constant spam from whatever company that got your info from facebook.

Facebook might have stomped a footprint with social networking...

However, Google is smart. VERY smart. Not to mention that they're also very creative and wealthy.



Have a feeling they might pave a roadway over it, in a span of 10 years.

Recently I think Google has enabled you to delete all your search data from your Google account, while I'm aware that it may not delete it on their personal databases, the option is there. My mother will never know I use "big nose spaniards bdsm" in my searches.

LOL.


Exactly. Google as a corporation respects your privacy.

Even though they may not delete it from their personal databases, they'll let you know that they're keeping it, and why they're keeping it.

The Australian hacker who revealed this has promised that we will hear more from Facebook's malicious activities.
