Facebook is justified by invoking a bug, a solution is in the operating phase, after the injunctions of scientists from the University of Leuven.
The information is likely to prejudice the reputation the social network. It is learned that in addition to 25,000 complaints against Facebook, even disconnected, users are spied on by the social network, according to a report. This finding, published this March 31, is the work of researchers from the Catholic University of Louvain. Le Monde said that it was from a small file gathering navigational information, previously recorded unbeknownst to the user, called a “cookie” that Facebook tracks users. The report confirms that “the social network continues to hunt using cookies, although the user is logged out of Facebook.” It sends pubs recipients already spied on.
What there was worse in this espionage is that Facebook track internet users who do not have … yet account with them. It proceeds by placing a “cookie” in any site of a celebrity for example, as any Internet user, who consults or hunted.
social network is justified
It’s not over for disclosures. A real difficulty is noted to delete these cookies, the researchers said. In principle, disabling these small files could have been easy, especially with Your choices online, a European site. A persistent cookie stored on this website, constitute the brake to the solution. Stalking up to two years despite that we are not a member of Facebook.
The reaction of the social network was launched immediately after the accusations. In its issue of Wednesday, April 8, in the form of blog post, Facebook recognizes “a possible sending of cookies by a bug, non-registered users on its site.” Servicing is underway to eradicate this bug reassuring that “everything is done independently of their will.” However, no reaction to the cookie found on Your choices online, the European website, were noted.
