Facebook has now become the indispensable social network, but is often singled out for his handling of confidential data. This time it is a matter of tracking is at stake, but it would be a bug, not a desire of teams. Researchers have discovered a problem within Facebook, but a tracking system would never have been developed. Note that the time when the platform was only a social network is far and even very far.



Facebook covered by a class action

Facebook has developed since its inception a real business around advertising and with the millions of subscribers, the revenues generated are consistent. The image has to be perfect, but a report from the Catholic University of Louvain comes the taint. They reveal that 25,000 users have decided to establish a class action because of a spy even when disconnected. This is made possible by installing a famous cookie that would trace all the information even if the user is no longer on Facebook. The information gathered worth gold because these data can for example be used for advertising purposes.



Cookies created by Facebook users stalk

Meanwhile, Facebook is accused of tracking non-members using the same cookie. It would not have the opportunity to be cast out, because it would tend to sue Internet users for nearly 24 months. The social network has meant that this establishment was not dependent on his will, but was actually a bug. Mark Zuckerberg teams are therefore working to resolve this issue and put an end to this so-called hunting for non members unintentional.
