US Congressmen: Facebook Evading Privacy Questions

An anonymous reader writes "Two U.S. congressmen have accused Facebook of evading questions about whether it tracks users in order to deliver targeted ads. Joe Barton, a Texas Republican, and Edward Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat, said the social networking giant failed to adequately answer questions raised by a patent application that suggests Facebook could be tracking users on other websites. The duo previously asked the Federal Trade Commission to investigate accusations that Facebook tracks its users even after they log out of the social network, an issue the company says it has since fixed."

If in doubt...

Honestly, guys, it isn't that hard. Pretty much any question about facebook can be answered by asking yourself "If the NSA and the National Enquirer merged, what would they do?"

I prefer thinking about the NSA merging with Weekly World News: "Bat Boy completes spying mission in Iran, destroys Iranian nuclear plant singlehandedly"

But you are missing out on all the cyber stalking possibilities. Want to know if that cute girl from high school is still cute? Often Facebook is the only way to find out ;-)
