Warning regarding facebook.

I know this has nothing to do with Scrapbooking, but felt the need to tell everyone. Someone posted this info. on facebook and it was deleted very quickly.

 I received the following information from Robert Grant via e-mail:

"Facebook Is Going To Take Your Likes And Comments
And Turn Them Into Ads - Opportunity or Abuse?"

Hmmm I wonder why...

Anyway, here is the shortened version for you :-)
I will not be silenced.

The new Facebook privacy setting called "Instant Personalization"
is being rolled out.

AKA Facebook will be sharing your personal information with
external websites ...

It's a marketers paradise but this might make you angry ...

The new setting shares your data with non-Facebook sites and
it's automatically set to "Enabled".

If you want to stop your personal info being shared with the Universe:

Go to Account >

Privacy Settings >

Apps & Websites >

Instant Personalization >

Edit settings and uncheck "Enable instant personalisation on partner websites"

Warning - If your friends don't do this, they will be sharing info about you as well,
so make sure you forward this on to everyone you know and care about.
