How do I opt-out of viewing social plugins?
No data is shared about you when you see a social plugin on an external website. You can choose to use social plugins when you click the "Like" or "Recommend" button on a piece of content you want to share. These actions are publicly available information, similar to public comments or reviews you might write on a website. Only click the "Like" or "Recommend" buttons if you want to share your likes and recommendations publicly./help/?faq=17097

So, everyone- Facebook overstepping boundaries, or just another means of "connecting people?" Are you creeped out or curious as to what your friend thinks of that PeopleDotCom article?
