OT: Facebook allowing your info on other sites

[Guest guest]

I posted this today on FB, sharing here:

 

 

I just opted out of the new Facebook application that shares

everything I post with other sites. Everybody got " opted in "

involuntarily last week by FB. Go to Account/Privacy

Settings/Applications and Websites/Instant Personalization

Pilot Program/Edit Settings/Uncheck the box with " Allow

select partners " etc., and when the pop up window tries to

convince you to stay with the app, " confirm " you are opting

out. The press, even US Senators are up in arms about this

invasion of privacy. Although I don't find it " scary " since

I'm pretty public, I find it presumptuous and greedy on FB's

part to " sell " my info.

 

Some more on this:
