Facebook is spyware

[unixronin]

FaceBook claims that they don't actually keep information on your buying habits elsewhere on the Net unless you're logged in and opted in.  But recent evidence shows they still gather it all the time, even when you're logged out ... just in case you decide to opt in.

Facebook has since released a statement claiming that it has no choice but to collect the data so that it can be used should the user decide to "opt-in" to the service.

I don't specifically know. Someone speculated cookies, but I have no idea what all they install and no desire to find out.
