As Zuck apologizes again... Facebook admits 'most' of its 2bn+ users may have had public profiles slurped by bots

Re: "Changing the economy of the bad actors"

Well, we'd all like to do this, and first off we should start with one of the biggest and one of the worst : your company. As the post above said, stop tracking everybody across the web, just cos they happened to visit a site that placed a Facebook icon on their pages. That is NOT granting explicit permission to you to do that. Don't try to palm the blame off on the websites for not reading the terms and conditions. Quite frankly, you get enough out of what happens within your site with users who choose to use it, you never had the right to epand out into the wider web and start building up data on non Facebook users, so delete all that data and stop it - immediately. Otherwise your economy is going to be changed for you by governments who, you will discover, actually are more powerful than you, and we will all have to suffer the unintended consequnces of the bad laws that they will rush through to show that "they are doing something".
