Primary example: the Like button. Even when I'm not logged into Facebook the button tracks where I go. I never checked a box to have the like button shown to me.

Also, agreeing to use a website does NOT give the website the ability to break the law. Otherwise, we could have drug-trafficking sites completely in the open with a box saying "By checking this box, you understand that we sell extremely illegal drugs, and that you will not take any action against this site."

Don't visit sites that use the Like button, block the Facebook domain. It's not that difficult.

That's nice in theory, but of course you can't know which pages have the 'like' button on it until you hit them.

Sure. That's why he suggested blocking the Facebook domain. I have a Facebook account that I use regularly, so I block the Like buttons with Ghostery.

Your advice is appreciated, but I my opinion, people shouldn't have to install software to avoid being tracked.

[jamesgeck0]

I agree. But Facebook isn't the only offender here; 3rd parties are also tracking your movements. The problem won't go away when Facebook relents; users are always going to have to defend themselves.

I shouldn't have to block the domain to stop them from tracking me. They just shouldn't track me.
