Facebook Disconnect (1 Viewer)

[pete]

Chrome only -

Facebook is notified whenever you visit one of the more than one million sites on the web that use Facebook Connect and has a history of leaking personally identifiable information to third parties.

Turn off the flow of your data to them!

Facebook Disconnect blocks all traffic from third-party sites to Facebook servers, but still lets you access Facebook itself.

hmmm

I guess it needs to be able to see the contents of a page in order to filter out the facebook stuff.

 

[Goodbye]

As long as you are aware you are a product & not a customer you're all right...


'sides, I've all sorts of shit blocked on that...

 

[GO]

I've yet to see an extension that dosent request access to everything in your world.


I am genuinely interested to know what the real dangers of all this privacy invasion are to me.Its a super hot topic online at the minute but I've yet to hear how its all gonna affect me in actual terms.Should I be scared?

i really depends on who they end up selling your data to. facebook's main interest is archive peoples whole lives as a saleable commodity and then passing the data to *large corporation* or whoever so that they know more about you than your ma. i think the browsing history is enough to put me off for good. facebook knows more about what porns i've watched than any woman i've gone out with, thats TMI.

The big scary corporations are out to get you and do all manner of horrible things with the data you provide on facebook. Put a bandana over your head and grab a molotov because we're taking this fight to the streets. Lets smash this oppresive facebook regime once and for all. Molotov sunrise my komrades

Id imagine theres too much data collected on everybody that it would make it impossible to do a full analysis on the individual. The most it could really be used for is targeted advtising which has been around as long as advtising. Nobody really wants your personal information, no matter how much you want them to.

here's one for firefox

Priv3 is the result of researchers at Rutgers University and the University of California at Berkeley. The extension doesn't completely block all third-party data transactions, but what it does is selectively stop social services like Facebook, Google (specifically Google's +1 button,) Twitter, and LinkedIn from dropping their tracking cookies on your computer and reading them when you're on other sites.

That means you can use all of those services, but you don't have to worry that every site with a Facebook Like button is transmitting your information: the extension. If you do decide to click the +1 button or the Like button, the extension will reload your session cookies and let the interaction through. In essence, it gives you the ability to opt out of the tracking unless you specifically opt-in by clicking to share with your friends.

This is quite true but it's the ability to opt out and the lack of actually telling people what is going on that is problematic and open to massive abuse.

And being that you pretty much can't even check the cinema times without having a Facebook account these days you can't say 'just don't use facebook'.

But this is pretty much the case with everything. Have you ever gotten an ad in the post which was specifically addressed to you and you don't know how they got your address? I dunno. I just dont care to be honest. There's much bigger problems going on at the moment

I'm not really that worried myself.

Maybe it's because so much of my job involves negotiating stuff to meet US and EU privacy laws that facebooks attitude really annoys me though.

Anyone know what Goldman and Sachs think about privacy?
