Here's another great Facebook story. It's like a match made in heaven between the morons who can't stop posting on there and the online freaks who want to exploit them.What's even better is...they are flat out telling these idiots that this is going on and it will have NO IMPACT. Here's my cat. Here's my boyfriend. Isn't he cute? Nothing can stop these people.
Two recent academic papers show that in certain circumstances, advertisers - or snoops posing as advertisers - may be able to learn sensitive personal information, like a person's sexual orientation or religion, even if the person is sharing that information with only a small circle of friends.[New York Times]
What's more, the identifier - typically a cookie or computer's Internet address - does not necessarily disclose the identity of the person who clicked. But privacy experts said the advertiser could potentially obtain the name in other ways and link it to the user's sexual orientation, perhaps by asking the person to sign up for a newsletter or fill out a form.
