Research Log Progress

My research log is going fairly well. I have found a few sources, for my new topic. My new topic will be how Facebook is tracking your wear about on the Internet. Through the use of “like” buttons which websites implement to integrate their site more seamlessly with Facebook. They also allow their viewers to share the website on Facebook. This gives the website free advertising if users post that they like an article or some other aspect of a website.  Although Facebook has denied that it can track you through around the internet, the article I found states that a man named Nik Cubrilovic discovered Facebook can track you through the Internet even if you are logged out of their website. It also says that the like buttons are not the only way it could track you. It can use any Facebook App’s you have used and accepted the Terms of service for. The site says that any website you visit that’s connected to Facebook is essentially the same as posting on the Internet or telling your friends that you visit that website. The article then goes on to talk about the ways you can try and prevent Facebook from tracking you. These include Internet Browser plugins and other methods.
