“Facebook Is Going To Take Your Likes And Comments
And Turn Them Into Ads – Opportunity or Abuse?”
Hmmm I wonder why…
The new Facebook privacy setting called “Instant Personalization”
is being rolled out.
AKA Facebook will be sharing your personal information with
external websites …
It’s a marketers paradise but this might make you angry …
The new setting shares your data with non-Facebook sites and
it’s automatically set to “Enabled”.
If you want to stop your personal info being shared with the Universe:
Go to Account >
Privacy Settings >
Apps & Websites >
Instant Personalization >
Edit settings and uncheck “Enable instant personalisation on partner websites”
Warning – If your friends don’t do this, they will be sharing info about you as well,
so make sure you forward this on to everyone you know and care about.
