Facebook Beacon Privacy Issues Worse Than Previously Thought?

An anonymous reader writes "Further developments in the Facebook Beacon affair ... According to PC World, a Computer Associates researcher claims that Beacon, when installed on participating sites, is sending data about users' activity back to Facebook, even when a user is logged out of Facebook - despite Facebook's claims to the contrary."

Right, and you stayed with facebook

My opinion of people who use social networking sites is already pretty low, you just lowered it even further.

If you are upset about this, you should quit facebook. They are the ones that started this program.

To explain just how stupid you are, in the real world this would the equivelant of "politician A you elected puts in effect a law that requires libraries to record your book withdrawals. You find out about this. You stop going to libraries. You vote again for politician A".

STOP USING FACEBOOK you twit.
