Facebook Knows Where You've Been

Facebook's plugins across the web appear to gather information even when they're not clicked.

It seems that every website I visit nowadays boasts its own Facebook like button. But what does this actually mean for someone visiting the site? New information suggests these widgets do more than just post information to your Facebook wall if you click the thumbs up icon. Eerily, the buttons are working even if you don’t click it at all.

Privacy debates are flooding the conversation about social media and it’s no secret that Facebook users are now taking more precautions when it comes to sharing information online.
