Woman says Facebook cookies violate wiretap laws, files suit

Just exactly who's safety are they protecting by retaining the ability to track your browser activity? Isn't it more like "We want to retain this ability because we're making good money by selling this information". I would like to see Ms. Brooke Rutledge win this case in order to establish a legal precedent that would apply to all corporate entities engaged in this type of activity.

If you don't agree with their policies and it bothers you that much.....stop using it! Facebook is not a necessity, it's a social networking/marketing site. It is taken way too seriously these days.

it doesnt matter, using facebook and google you will always be tracked and all those so called cookies can always be filtered down to pinpoint a single individual. people nowadays are just paroniod about 'privacy' ; but there is no such thing.

Well, I'd rather live in a society that is unnecessarily paranoid about privacy when they don't need to be, than one that isn't and should be. Kind of like the phrase, "I'd rather have a gun and not need it than need it and not have it".

I don't really communicate with people on facebook these days anyways so I deleted my facebook account about 2 weeks ago because I don't like them tracking me and making money off selling info about me. Made one last post that they could reach me at a certain e-mail address and if they actually care they will. The site is just a professional stalker site anyways imo.
