Facebook is Watching You! (part 3)


According to Facebook, users will have the ability to turn the “place tips” on or off. That doesn't mean that the system won't still be tracking you. Personally, I feel that if my habits are to be logged somewhere for advertising research (or for other purposes), I believe I should have the right to opt out of that completely. I suppose I do still have that right, in a sense: I can turn off my smartphone wherever I go. But didn't I buy it so I could freely use it and be in contact with those I want to be in touch with? Why is my own device now being used against me?
