How to Disable Facebook Offline Activity Tracking and Clear History (2023)
There was a lot of excitement on the internet over the weekend, starting with an article by Dave Winer on Springting.com detailing how Facebook tracks users where they hang out on the internet after they log in without their permission. Then Nik Cubrilovic dug even deeper and found that Facebook can still track where users hang out on the internet even after they're logged out. An article by ZDNet details that Facebook denies such allegations. Now it's entirely up to you who you want to believe. Regardless, in this article you'll find several ways to protect yourself and keep your information and movements private from Facebook and other social services too.
Did you know that Facebook doesn't just track your time on the site? Any website or online service that uses Facebook services (such as the "Like" button) sends information without your consent. But Winer discovered something else about recent changes to Facebook: The new Facebook Open Graph allows social web apps to send information to Facebook and share things with your friends. It also lets them post to your profile without your consent.
This essentially means that when you use one of these apps while watching a movie, reading an article, or listening to a song, you are sending information to Facebook. This information may be automatically added to your profile or shared with your friends without Facebook asking for your permission to take any action.
