I feel guilty now for having posted something that brought this about (if it did -- or is it a kind of random thing that isn't directly related to a particular posting, thread or GC site?)
Anyway:
Kevin or a supermod -- if what I posted was at fault for putting info out there that nobody expected to have pop up in that context, feel free to edit or delete.
And please accept my apologies if my ignorance or mistake caused difficulties.

This is Facebook's fault, not yours. This new "feature" was added a few weeks ago and also includes plugins to websites such as cnn, people, etc. I, too, was shocked beyond belief to see my picture (and friends' pictures too) on a website that I was visiting for the first time.
Of course FB set the default privacy setting to "allow" for everyone unless we turn it off. Therefore, if you don't like it I encourage everyone to go into their privacy settings-> applications and websites-> instant personalization pilot program. Unclick.
You may still need to "sign out" from the facebook portion of sites that you have visited since FB launched the program. I updated my privacy settings about a week ago, and other than "signing out" in those facebook boxes for about 24 hours I haven't had a problem since.
Again, realize that even if you aren't seeing yourself on certain sites your friends can see if you have read/liked an article on that site.
Annoying beyond belief.
