Blue Toad Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I noticed the Facebook share button right next to the reply button when making posts. I think this is potentially disastrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olga Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Bluetoad, I'm writing on a laptop (as opposed to a phone) and the FB button is on the other side of the page from the Post button. olga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Toad Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 Yes obviously not a problem on the computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crtclms Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 This is not a new state of affairs. We strongly suggest people who came via Facebook change their user names. If you are worried about privacy, I genuinely cannot think of a time when the facebook button has been a problem. Maybe one of the admins will happen by to correct me....

Elsa Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I wondered about the button, but I'm careful about my posts... i do check too see if anyone liked it via fb button, that worries me :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mim Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I disabled cookie tracking in my browser and have had no issues. Same with my mobile phone. I use Firefox for both, and the option to disable cookie tracking is in the settings. That way Facebook doesn't do that sleazy thing where it follows me all over the damn internet.

olga Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Mim, is that the setting under "Privacy" where it says "Tell sites I don't want to be tracked?" I want to make sure I'm doing the right setting. olga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Elvis Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Of course if you set it that way, nobody who owns the websites get paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Elvis Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 The bottom line when it comes to any service, online or off, is that if you are not paying money for it, you're the thing being sold. In this case, I make a living and pay for the boards by selling your tracking data to google, pretty much. That's how the web works. The alternative would be to have all sites be subscription only which would suck because then they couldn't be indexed. The only thing that allows the web to be profitable and pay for itself is allowing yourself to be tracked. I know a lot of you donate money when I have fund raisers and I appreciate it. I get about $16k a year from Google and then another $5k-$6k a year in donations, and that's before taxes or any expenses, It's barely a living. The site simply couldn't exist if everyone blocked ads and tracking info. The web couldn't exist if everyone blocked ads and tracking info.

olga Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Okay, I'll unblock it and let them track me. Maybe I'll visit some kinky sites and give them all a thrill. olga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
