Facebook just went through a massive change. They recently updated their privacy policy to say that they will now monitor what you are doing and will even collect your browsing information while you are logged in. This means that what you are doing on Facebook is now a little more easily traced. I’m glad they’re looking into this, as I’m sure they are also looking at what you are doing on your phone.
The changes are for good reason, but not all of us like to be tracked. If you like to keep up with what your friends are doing, this is an opportunity to do so, but be aware that this could be a big privacy violation if you are not careful about who you give out your information to.
As I mentioned earlier, the changes are for good reason, but not all of us like to be tracked.

The main thing to note here is that Facebook is tracking everything you do on the site. They use the data they have to give you a certain look and the “like” you give them is also tracked, so it’s easy to see how many people you’ve liked, what you’ve posted, and whether or not you’ve “liked” a page you don’t recognize.
Facebook doesn’t like to make it easy for you to turn off the information they have on you, so I recommend you to keep it in mind, but I also recommend you to not share your passwords with anyone (or let your friends know how you use their account).
If you turn off the activity tracking for a page, it is essentially a ‘don’t track me’ page. A page that you don’t recognize will appear in your ‘about me’ section, and every time you open a new tab in your browser, you will be tracked.
I’ve been using Facebook for almost 10 years now and have seen a lot of changes in recent years, but I’ve never experienced this. A lot of people on Facebook are tracking me and that really pisses me off, because I don’t want to be tracked. When I share the password, I always use my real name so that I dont put them in danger.
To do anything about it, you have to get your hands on a Facebook developer account, which you can do here. I think it would just be a matter of installing a plugin and seeing what happens. I have not seen anything that has caused me to worry about tracking my usage. All of my friends on Facebook have their privacy settings turned off.
I have my own developer account here, but I am very vigilant about my privacy settings, and I never use a plugin.
The Facebook plugin you’re talking about is not a good one. I don’t use it because Facebook is too intrusive, but I have never seen a friend’s privacy settings go up or down. It’s probably because I’m a relatively new user. I’m not sure what else you can do to limit Facebook’s tracking, but there are a lot of people out there who have had the same experience I had.
