and if you're NOT a member they'll keep tracking you anyway

Facebook has finally responded to requests to stop tracking users for advertising. But they aren’t going to. Instead, Facebook is going to force all of those who continue to use their social media service to accept being tracked around the internet.
“People can choose to not be on Facebook if they want,” said Facebook Deputy Chief Privacy Officer Rob Sherman. Or, they will be forced to opt into being tracked everywhere they go, and that’s just the way it is. This decision was not made in the interest of the users of Facebook, but explicitly to keep the company’s business model “intact,” reported the Independent.
Some had suggested that the site will have to make major changes once a new European Union privacy law comes into effect. Many parts of those new regulations seem in direct conflict with Facebook’s business, including new rules about what information can be harvested about users. But that’s exactly why Facebook will explicitly demand that you opt into being tracked.
Sherman said that the social network will begin seeking Europeans’ permission this week for a variety of ways Facebook uses their data, but he said that opting out of targeted marketing altogether would not be possible. Therefore, you’ll be tracked if you continue to use Facebook. “Facebook is an advertising-supported service,” Sherman said in a briefing with reporters at Facebook’s headquarters. Facebook users will only be able to limit the kinds of data that advertisers use to target their pitches, he said, but “all ads on Facebook are targeted to some extent, and that’s true for offline advertising, as well.”
Facebook, which is still the world’s largest social media network, will use what are known as “permission screens” to notify and obtain approval. “Permission screens” are ...

Duh. Yeah. If you want to use their FREE service you have to allow them to collect data they can sell to advertisers. If you have a problem with that then don’t use their FREE service.
Getting zucked over is everybody’s privilege.

Privacy is a right, it can’t be signed away via their “agreement.”
Remember that our right to privacy is so sacred and expansive that it allows abortion.
Let’s say that I sign an agreement for a developer to take my arm and leg for the use of their app. I wouldn’t say that the agreement is illegal, but it would be illegal for them to take my arm and leg.
Good, they asked for it for free and you get what you pay for.
Facebook rape?
I’ve created a MeWe account, I suggest all other social media Freepers do the same. Jim, I sent you a mail message related to this.
That’s what I’m thinking...I want to cancel also, but the surest way is to NOT authorize them in any way, then they’re PREVENTED from any of their crap.
...and don’t think it’s just us. Many on the left will do EXACTLY the same.
I’m gonna get a Facebook account for some of my power tools, let them track ‘em and tell me where they are.
This just poped up on instagram...
Updates to Our Terms and Data Policy
Your Instagram experience isn’t changing, and you still own your photos and videos. We are giving you better ways to access your data and understand how it’s used.Instagram has been a part of Facebook since 2012, and we’re making some corporate changes. Going forward, our terms will reflect that Facebook Inc. is responsible for Instagram. The Instagram app and the way we process data are not changing.Our Terms are now more clear about the service we provide and what we expect from every member of our community to keep Instagram a safe place for everyone. Here are some updates we want to make sure you know about:
We updated our intellectual property licenses, but your rights aren’t changing. You still own your photos and videos.
We updated how we use information to show activity on Instagram, so people can see when you’ve interacted with an ad the same way we do on a regular post.
We also have a new Data Policy that explains how data is collected, shared and used in the Facebook Products, including Instagram. The policy addresses newer features like stories, direct messaging, activity status and the creative tools in our cameras. We wanted to make sure you knew about this new information in the policy.
We receive different kinds of information from your device, like how you tap and scroll, which can help distinguish humans from bots and detect fraud.
We can use and share information for research, especially in ways that help us keep our community safe on Instagram, like to understand and prevent bullying and harassment.
The policy has more information about what we collect from your activity and our partners, how we connect information across the Facebook Companies and how we personalize your experience, including ads.
We provide ads without telling advertisers who you are. The policy has more information about what we do share with advertisers and partners. We never sell your data.
Because the policy also covers Facebook, it includes information about facial recognition. We don’t use facial recognition technology on Instagram. If we introduce it, we’ll let you know and give you a choice.

One of the marks of the Beast is a white lower-case “f” in a sky blue rounded cornered square.
Do you use FB on a smartphone ? If so, they know who you are. Same on a desktop computer.
I assume that means if you “opt in” they will track you on whatever search engine you use. That means they already have permission to “follow” you around on the web.
Ultimately everything on FB gets tied to an email address. If they peg your email....
Bingo.
The internet is addictive. It was designed to be.
