Facebook Cookies Track Users Even After Logging Out 352
First time accepted submitter Core Condor writes "According to Australian technologist Nik Cubrilovic: 'Logging out of Facebook is not enough.' He added, Even after you are logged out, Facebook is able to track your browser's page every time you visit a website. He wrote in his blog: 'With my browser logged out of Facebook, whenever I visit any page with a Facebook like button, or share button, or any other widget, the information, including my account ID, is still being sent to Facebook.' After explaining the cookies behavior he also suggested a way to fix the tracking problem: 'The only solution to Facebook not knowing who you are is to delete all Facebook cookies.'"

Notice how goatse doesn't have a FB "like" button? I think goatse needs a "like" button. C'mon, everybody, why don't we setup a shitload of goatse mirrors with "like" buttons? There's more than one way to poison a DB.....

But but but we need Facebook. How else are we supposed to communicate with our friends?
Sadly, while this was meant in jest, there is at least one person we know that fits this description. Leave voicemail or send email all you want, and it goes into a black hole. Send her a message on Facebook? Two hour turnaround!
Mind-boggling...
I'd respond to that but I can't find the "Like" button.
