What's stopping you from quitting Facebook right now and how does this change that?


The problem with Facebook tracking is that even if (like me) you don’t use Facebook / don’t have it installed random apps on the App Store will push your data to King Zuck.

This is what the data sharing is about. If you’re a regular user a Facebook that ad from the Charleston SC burger joint will still reach you. They don’t share that data with anyone else.

It’s the random game or app you install that will no longer push their data to Facebook.

Edit. Fixed typo.
