As if Facebook’s privacy record wasn’t scary enough, a privacy watchdog has warned that the network spies on you even if you are logged out. The network constantly watches you on other websites, even when you’re not signed in to Facebook, researchers claim. Facebook will actuallyy watch which sites you visit, and store this information, even if you don’t use Facebook, University of Leuven researchers warn. The social network giant also ‘watches’ users who have specifically asked not to be watched – using browser cookies to monitor the sites everyone visits. The latest ‘Big Brother’ revelations come in a report commissioned by the Belgian Privacy Commission, in response to concerns over Facebook ‘watching’ users. The report found that people who have logged out – and non-Facebook users – were tracked constantly online via Facebook’s social plug-ins such as the ‘Like’ button on websites.
