Here's a tongue twister that reminds us that the people running
Facebook are very, very clever: Thanks to a legal settlement finalized today, many of the privacy watchdogs watching
Facebook will soon seek funding from
Facebook. . Remember how, in 2007,
Facebook got in a hot mess when it launched a product called Beacon, which, unless users opted out of it, broadcasted
Facebook users' activity on third party sites back to
Facebook for all those users' friends to see? . Because a few of
Facebook's Beacon partners were e commerce sites, the product ruined a not a few Christmas surprises and at least one engagement. . (We also remember one user being upset that all her friends learned what kind of underwear she bought from Overstock.com).
