Digital Smarts - What To Do About Facebook Tracking

One of the biggest issues that people seem to have with Facebook is privacy. Facebook is now tracking your moves beyond the Facebook site – when you surf the web, or use various apps on your smartphone- as well as on the site or app itself. They say they need the extra data to do a better job of targeting ads to you, which of course results in more revenue for them. Sounds downright creepy, but the good news is that you can find an explanation of exactly why you're getting every ad you see, as well as control what kind of ads will appear in the future. These options are not easy to find, but if you follow the steps outlined in an article entitled What You Can Do About Facebook Tracking, you can actually see the record of your interests that Facebook has compiled and edit the list to keep Facebook from aiming specific ads at you.
