The Facebook Privacy Thread

After reading all that, it seems that if you log out of Facebook before going out to the web you can avoid having your data pulled. Your data is accessed via FB code on the other website (as GD explained earlier).

Before these changes Yelp and Pandora were already doing this type of data sharing. I think OpenTable was too.

I get why the changes are raising questions and concerns but it seems to be a lot of uproar about the lack of privacy when your data isn't being broadcast to the rest of the internet.
