So, do all “like” buttons get tracked by FB, or only some?

Specifically, Seeking Alpha, an investment site, and Quora, a general q/a and opinion site?

And, once your ip and email address have been picked up by FB, do they track you everywhere?

At that point, it’s not commerce, it is conspiracy.

I am glad I never hit the like button on a Facebook site.

Everything according to communists is for their own good. They are incapable of leaving everyone alone.

There are a few sanctimonious FReepers who gloat that their privacy is safe because they haven’t joined any social media. Nobody with an internet connection is safe.

If you dare click on an ad or link, the same info can be tracked and usually is.

You’d think 2018 is the first year folks have heard of the internet.

I want to know what Radio Shack does with all the phone numbers it has collected over the years from folks who’ve bought batteries.

This bunch takes the concept of “Control Freak” and sends it into outer space.

There’s something slightly demented about this.

"When non-Facebook sites add a “Like” button...visitors to those sites are tracked: Facebook gets their IP address..."

Wouldn't DHCP take care of that?

I have no concerns of FB doing this because I eschew 'like' buttons when surfing by PC and do not use a 'smart' phone, or any phone with 'net access.
