Great.
Now my 87 year old mother will find out about that time I looked at naughty pictures.
Hawley tries but knows he’ll only get lies, BS and the runaround. “Modern day robber barons is so appropriate”.
Now ask him about creating tracking of persons seen in other peoples photos or attempts at identifying locations in photos for people who do not provide their whereabouts.
Do not have fb and never have but these people are sick!
Twitter isn’t news.
It’s like some moron texting.
I’m surprised he didn’t just lie.
He thinks Biden won.
Does facebook use cookies? Yes. That alone would qualify as tracking tools, but you can bet that’s not the only way they keep tabs on their users.
Also, the ads on FB and at your sites can have cookies, so if you go to a site that doesn’t have cookies, or you don’t accept cookies from that site, you can still have your activity tracked by the cookies
WT ever-living F gives FB the right to track us everywhere on the Internet???? Why do the feds even allow this MASSIVE invasion of privacy?
Facebook delenda est!!!
Over a year ago Tucker Carlson gave a staff member phones that had been disabled one turned off completely, one with WiFi disabled, one in airplane mode. He sent the staffer to places that aren’t supposed to allow public WiFi. Then he had IT experts log the phones as they were reset. They all sent info on everywhere the staffer went to Google.
Expect Facebook stock to drop big time.
We’ve known this like forever. It’s why I didn’t want to sign up 10 years ago, but it was that or never communicate with my family.
This has been quite clear.
Google something and it will appear in a Facebook ad.
The Samsung Smart TV with secret facial recognition and remote activation of camera was a shock, too.
Those tech people are really something./s
These people aren’t that smart. They just bank on people being so addicted or dependent on their devices, that they wouldn’t care if they are being followed.
It’s a house of cards. Just stop existing in their realm, even if for a little while, and they can’t see you.
How? We can discuss it. Even better? Create absurd personas of yourself just to look around their platforms. After all, they are just a bunch of nerds thinking they have their revenge in thinking they are controlling you.

Known this for years and I wish I could find the original thread here on FR that discussed it some 10+ years ago now.
Briefly:
1. Do a fresh OS install of Win7/8/10 or Linux on any computer.
2. Browse Yahoo.com, Amazon.com, eBay.com, NY Times, and pick any other ten top twenty websites you want. Exception: DO NOT BROWSE FACEBOOK.
3. Go examine the cookies on the computer. You'll find you're being tracked by Facebook without ever having browsed Facebook on that computer or opened a facebook account with that computer.
So many websites, online shopping sites, etc.. send their cookie data to Facebook for correlation. In summary, your browsing information is correlated to your computer and your identity for marketing purposes. It's a HUGE part of Facebook's revenue stream.
You and I cannot possibly opt out of all the advertising services/cookies that are set on our computers that are sent to facebook.
What we CAN do is BLOCK FACEBOOK from setting cookies on our computers. I do that. Ther are video's on how to do it, all one has to do is LOOK.
Want to kill Facebook? Learn to block their cookies and stop them from correlating your data.
Educate yourselves, people. You're being tracked by them even if you don't have an account there.
