Facebook privacy issues: Social network is watching you even when you’re logged out<\/a><\/p>\n
Facebook has admitted that it has been watching the web pages its members visit \u2013 even when they have logged out.<\/p>\n
In its latest privacy blunder, the social networking site was forced to confirm that it has been constantly tracking its 750million users, even when they are using other sites.<\/p>\n
The social networking giant says the huge privacy breach was simply a mistake – that software automatically downloaded to users’ computers when they logged in to Facebook ‘inadvertently’ sent information to the company, whether or not they were logged in at the time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Before this, it was OnStar.<\/p>\n
What next?<\/p>\n
My cellphone listening in, even when it’s not on a call? Or when it’s allegedly turned off?<\/p>\n

Or my answering machine?<\/p>\n
