Last year, we wrote about how Broadband could be banning porn in the near future, and last month the petrifying news emerged that watching porn on your phone could have some serious consequences – but now some even more worrying news has spiralled forth.
According to The Sun, you might want to log out of Facebook every time you’re fapping away like a madman – because apparently you’re being tracked.
In a somewhat Orwellian bout of revelation, if you head over to a naughty website which has a Facebook plug-in then you’re being watched.
Why do they do this? Because Facebook just loves to know absolutely everything you’re looking at – like a third party stalker.
The firm collects data about the websites you’re visiting so that they can tailor ads towards your tastes – and for some reason they also need to know about all that dirty porn you’ve been watching.
According to their data policy, Facebook states:
We collect information when you visit or use third-party websites and apps that use our Services (like when they offer our Like button or Facebook Log In or use our measurement and advertising services).
This includes information about the websites and apps you visit, your use of our Services on those websites and apps, as well as information the developer or publisher of the app or website provides to you or us.
However, despite this worrying leak, and potential privacy breach, Facebook in the past has promised that they would not track their users.
But now it would appear they’ve simply just changed their minds.
The good news is that Facebook won’t use your regular blue movie habits to churn out sexual adverts your way, although they will know exactly what you’ve been watching, which is kind of creepy.
