Facebook may be collecting data on everyone…

…and not just members of Facebook. They could actually be getting data on everyone who visit member sites. That’s according to Mark Orchant of BlogNation.

Facebook isn’t simply learning about every action taken by Facebook users on affiliate sites, it is learning about every action taken by every user of these affiliate sites regardless of whether they are Facebook users or not.

The affiliate sites are pretty much dumping their entire customer database into Facebook’s lap, FOR FREE and without their customers permission. What. The. F*ck.

I wonder what the tipping point will be for resignations or a total collapse.
