> I have done is sandboxed it: I have a separate “Facebook” account on OS X
At what point will you decide to ban Facebook? Will you stop using their services if they find a way to spy on your cross-browser behavior? Or will you just sandbox them further into a VM, or even another physical machine? What if other sites you use regularly also start tracking you so aggressively?
I deleted my FB account when I learned that more of my profile info was being made public over time. This was before Like buttons.
I was not a heavy user, but this decision had its price; there are people I no longer communicate with because of it. Still, I'm happy I took a stand, all the more so because things have deteriorated much further since then in terms of privacy.
